Pop Top Roof

Hi everyone

Does anyone have any recommendations of who supplies the best pop top roof kit for my VW T25. It seems that the only options are the westy style roof for T25s now?

Also my tin top has two sun roofs. The middle one is not an issue as it will be cut out for the pop top however just wondered what other people did with their driver's sunroof after fitting a pop top as their is generally a luggage rack if I am correct?

Your help is appreciated. Love having a project and this T25 is certainly that :-)

You can pay someone to supply and fit a brand new pop-top roof, OR you can buy a second hand westfalia roof, then either fit it yourself or get someone else to do it. There are plenty of threads on this subject in the 'campers' section. I would have thought that the front sunroof would be blocked off by the luggage tray at the front (just leave it in place), though you can get the 'fangs' type front piece, that doesn't cover that area. Depends what's available when you go looking...

I want to fit the roof myself as I am pretty handy. Will keep an eye out for that thread Irish :-)

Ady at Boxwagen in Bournemouth is pretty good at fitting a Westy roof to a Caravelle. He did mine, and a few others on here as well. Recommended. Find them via their website. See my thread "Just bought a Westfalia roof".
