I'm going to change my hightop for a westy pop top. I have already got a westy roof but i just want to check i have everything i need before i start doing it. I have both rear brackets and the front one the roof clips to when closed, and the 'H' frame. Is there anything else i need?

Also how do fit the luggage section at the front, do you just attach it with adheisve or does it have bolts? Also there are water drainage holes in it, but where does the water drain too whe attached to the roof??

One last thing does anyone fancy helping me that knows what they are doing? lol

cheers

Sounds like the only thing you're missing is the 4 brackets for the luggage rack,you can buy them from gunzl :)

Have you got the aluminium strips that run all round top and bottom and hold the roof canvas in place? Also lots of small stainless self tappers that are needed for this?

See also this thread for info on fitting the canvas. https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=67091" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I also have Westy pop-top, but don't have a clue about the front end. Should there be a cover? Drain holes seem to go nowhere, and the whole thing fills with water, to consternation of by-standers when I drive off the pitch turning to right or left :roll: !!!! I'm not helping you solve your initial question, of course...
