    HiLo Roof bar fitting

    Has anyone fitted oem roof rails to a HiLo roof please? I’m about to and need to know if the metal rails are sold or just fibreglasses over? Did you have to bolt up from the bottom and tighten the nuts down into the roof bars due to clearance on the pop top when it closes?? Thanks nervously Chrjs

    External pop top cover for a Hilo

    Does anyone with a Hilo roof use an external pop top cover, such as the ones supplied by Rainbow Screens? If so, what is the technique for getting the cover on & off this pop-top, given its enormous height? TIA
