Hi
I bought my transporter as a summer project to convert to a day van. It has a 3ft square hole cut in the roof above the twin slider doors. A perspex cover cam off during transport. Anyone have any thoughts on how best to seal this, ie perspex, rivet or weld? It looks as though someone was going to fit a sliding sun roof but bailed out. Cheers. Sean.

Trim the edge of the hole and fit a pop top?

There's a pop top in the For Sale section at the moment.

Is that the blue one that was on ebay for a while?

Nice looking bus!

No, not that one. Same colour but Microbus rather than Caravelle. Round headlights, not square.

Riveria roof?

No experience of the company, looks like a nice roof option, but may be more hassle than worth, would be good to know if anyone on here has any experiences of them.

If you do go the rivera roof option post plenty of pictures, I'm really intrigued by them too

Thanks folks, welding seems like a non starter and so i will look out for a pop top. Cheers

How about one of these
I have one and am very happy with the result

Thanks folks. I am holding off on filling the hole - would ideally like to fit a sunroof pop top when i have the cash. Any ideas on what i can do beforehand as a stop gap. Not sure if she will fail an mot with a 4ft sq hole in the roof???

Hi, this looks the biz, did you just buy the kit - if so, was it a mission? cheers sean.

About the only possible is sharp edges, if the tester decides they could injure a pedestrian... Just some knock-on edging would get you round that. Or a tester with some common sense.
