Any ideas guys?







And yes... thats 2 hindges where the rivets have come undone!

looks limke you may need to repari and re attach.

Not much point trying to re-attach it to that metalwork. Might as well remove the final hinge, repair all three sections with fresh metal, rust proof as best you can and re-attach the pop top. Possibly stick strips of fibreglass matting with resin and gel-coat/paint over the top of the hinges on the metalwork as an extra barrier to water.

Yep thats going to need sorting right. I have a van in for braking at the min if you need any roof cuts.

In the bottom picture it looks like the inner strengthener section needs repairing.

Hi Jim,

Id be very interested in any parts that would be of help. Can you please message me or email me on charlenesbunnies@hotmail.com with details.

Cheers!

Yes as others on here have said really the only way to go is to get the roof of cut out the rot and weld in new matal.
We had to do the same on our van, our's was pretty bad there's some pics on my first post.
Think the hardest part of the repair was getting the pop top in the right position when fitting it back on.
Best of luck with the repair

Dam sight easier than a skanky old hitop as yours is already off,
