I fancy fitting a pop top to my T4. I'm a panel beater so want to have a go fitting it myself. Does any one know where i can get one from?
Eh?

Be careful of the Riemo roof as the hinges are inside and do trap and damage the canvas, I went down the SCA roof route myself and I'm happy with it (cost 3.5K fitted).

Have a good read of the van forums and decide if you want a cheap roof or a good roof as it is a bit of a minefield on the T4 fella Smile.

I have a Austop, its reinfored for my LWB and fits well. You can buy them direct if you want to fit it your self. They have the new scissor hing or the older hinge off the roof, which does not pinch the canvas. 

Here are the two types, both on LWB, you will see the newer hinge does lift slightly higher, but, the extra height is not needed for me on a LWB at the back of the van..
