    Fantastic video Simon exactly what I wanted to see as we are considering a pop top for our vw transporter t32 and currently have roof rails and a solar panel fitted and would like to be able to keep them if we go ahead with the pop top conversion. I think by watching your great video we would remove our rails and solar panel ourselves and then after we get the pop top fitted refit the rails and panel. Excellent video thanks for sharing this with us all :-)👍😎👀🙂🤜🤛🔧🔧

    Really strange question..but do you know how high the roof bars sit, I have a solar panel that’s fitted pretty low to my roof..but not sure if it’s low enough for the roof bars to be higher than it.

    Hi Simon , great video ! Do you have any dimensions on what height you gained from poptop to top of roof bars ? I am currently at just around 2m with my Awning being the highest point and can still make it under the 2.1m barriers fine but would like to keep it that way for trips i am not using roof rails

  • @derekweir7692
    @derekweir7692 2 года назад

    Get dome headed nuts then the issue with the potential of tearing the skirt is diminished, with the extended thread that the nylocs need. You are using a spring washers so any threat of the nut slackening shouldn't occur, dome heads also look better from the underside

    Great video! I plan on fitting my pop top myself, I'll be doing something similar, fiberglassing reinforced brackets into the underside of the pop top, you don't have to use metal for these, you can use wood stripes too, having it covered in the f/glass and resin you can make it super strong! 😊

    On fibreglass, if you run your drill in reverse, obviously it's slower, but you end up with a much neater hole.

    • @simonjenns
      @simonjenns 2 года назад

      Hi, no leaks noticed - as the fixings are outside of the canvas even if water did get in it’s no real drama. Sikaflex certainly wouldn’t do any harm, but I wouldn’t say it’s really necessary. Hope that helps!

    Great video Simon! i am hopefully doing the same over the next few weeks. could i ask a few questions and a favor, I am looking at installing ford transit custom LWB rails to my VW T6 LWB poptop, they come in 2 types, ones the same style as yours and one that looks abit more like you would see on an VW Amork (the back mount isn't curved the same as the front, looks abit more off road style to suit our swamper, have a google and you'll see what i mean) i'm just wondering what length you rails are from front to back? would you be able to measure it and let me know? im hoping the transit ones are near enough the same and i can use the same technique you did for mounting them. thanks again! James

    • @simonjenns
      @simonjenns 2 года назад

      Hi James, excellent! I've just measured and they're 265cm from the very tip of one end of the rail, to the very tip of the other end of the rail. Hope that helps! Simon

  • @stephenkeech854
    @stephenkeech854 2 года назад

    Hi Simon, great vid thank you, I noticed you have 4 fixings on each rail but the ones in the link have only 3. Are the 4 fixing rails still available? Steve

    • @simonjenns
      @simonjenns 2 года назад

      Thanks Steve, glad you’ve found it helpful! When I ordered mine the image had only 3 fixings per rail, but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see 4. My guess is that perhaps the SWB rails have 3 fixings and LWB rails have 4…but that the website just used the same image for both the LWB and the SWB listings? Let me know how you get on!
