Westfalia Poptop Skylight - Pic of winding up bit please
Posted: 03 Mar 2008, 09:38
Could someone post a picture of the little wheels in the track that winds the skylight up and down please ....
Not got a pic, but they are small nylon top-hat shaped rollers, rivited to the ends of the arms. The are sized so the smaller diameter sits in the slots in the track on the skylight, and the larger flange diameter is just big enough to stop them pulling through.
They go brittle and the flanges break off and then the rollers pop out of the track and your skylight doesnt go up (I expect you know this bit)
I made some new ones up with some brass spacer bushes, some small diameter washers as flanges and some 4mm nuts and bolts. Or you can buy the correct complete up-down winder new OE part from Gunzl.
