Doka sun roof- double sun roof?
Hi everyone, I’ve removed a roof rack that came fitted to my double cab Doka and to my surprise it has either had 2 sunroof’s (front and rear)
Or… the front removed and fitted in the rear.
The tell tale is there appears to be a shady sheet metal skin the shape and size of a sunroof over the drivers cab part and a sunroof over the rear passenger part.
So few photos exist I’m at a loss (without removing the headlining) as to what could have been OEM.
Question is; are double size (think BMW mini or beetle rag top) sunroof’s a thing for the Doka?
Also appears my rear one doesn’t open :,(

Hard to tell, looks like someone stuck the roof rack back on while your back was turned
Have you ever seen an unhappy fool?

Re: Doka sun roof- double sun roof?
factory sunroof sit almost flush to the roof compared to aftermarket ones and as said they have four tubes from a rain gully. one on each corner.
I have one in the garage complete with most of the cab section of roof if anyone wants one.

to save you loads of spam calls I would remove your number from your post. I can get some pictures, mine is from a caravelle. its quite a big section of roof but not enough for a complete crew cab roof.

No worries and cheers for the heads up- I see there is no direct messaging function on this forum? Or maybe just as I’m new, odd either way.t25adict wrote:to save you loads of spam calls I would remove your number from your post.

It’s mainly the front section I need, I’ll post a photo on Tuesday- just looks a state. (Front section to the top of the windscreen)

And if so, how much and where (ish) in the Uk are you?

Hi yes it has a short little stub of A pillar each side at the front. It was cut on the A pillars and then across the roof near by or in front of the B pillars, gutter sections each side are still there. 50 quid ono

Cheers for that, any chance of a photo and a length to the cut- I’ve got to measure mine in the morning to where the stamped out section is to see if it’s a feasible repair using your sectiont25adict wrote:Hi yes it has a short little stub of A pillar each side at the front.

Re: Doka sun roof- double sun roof?
hi I presume you are talking about the raised bump in the roof that lines up with the B pillars.
my section is cut about 30 - 40mm in front of that bump. So there is 800mm ish of flat roof then the short angled bit that turns down towards the windscreen.

Re: Doka sun roof- double sun roof?
That’s doable I think, my bump/hump looks in fair condition, it’s the area from there to the screen that looks the worst- doesn’t look it but the double cab Doka roof is almost 6ft, bigger job that I expected.t25adict wrote:hi I presume you are talking about the raised bump in the roof that lines up with the B pillars.

Still talking to my engineers to see if they can collect it for me.
