Hello to you all, here we have a dormobile pop top with a striped canvas supplied by the customer for me to fit......Ash and Tobi a really nice couple who love there van and needed this fitting but also the roof needed adjusting as it was not fitted right so i needed to adjust the hinges to get the top to close right. have a look and enjoy.

This is a picture of the roof re fitted after the hinges were adjusted a snug fit now......

 

The roof off and upside down...looking clean ...Tobi and Ash done a great job of cleaning up the top before i got my hands on it......

 

A action shot.....seeing the van with the roof off, I had to clean the area of old fitting debris and make it ready for the big fit.

Wow what a colour ....I loved it this fabric is a PVC type with the strips printed on the face of the fabric.... fitting the aluminium track with the use of rivets.

Just a different angle of the same process...this takes the most time .....getting this right is the most important part of the job.

As if by magic .....its on.......if only.....many hours of hard work and gallons of tea........as you can see the lower part of the hood fitted by the same way as the top .when this was done a line of clear silicone was applied to seal it to stop any water leaks. Also note the trimming and adjustment of the side was still under way.

All done and looking good, and I was in a tea shirt doing this ....in Feb ??? no I'm not a nuter but it was hot work and it was a sunny day.

One more photo of the finished roof, some vw trimmer's will not even look at fitting these pop tops............. its just down to patience and time ...you cannot rush these tops.......thanks again for looking and hope to see you all soon .

Colin.
