roof

Hi all - new member here at the early stages of research in moving from camping under canvas to a van, hence user name! Use will be mainly for 2 adults, an 8 year old and a gun dog. Considering sourcing a van for conversion but have also identified a few local 2nd hand vans for faster solution...

I have this idea of fitting a platform on my T6 roof so I can climb up, chill out and do some star gazing Anyone done this or have any good ideas on how to achieve it tia

Hey folks, wondering if anyone else has had this problem or can advise. Trying to close the roof today and the rear driver side is staying about 1cm high. No obstructions. Fabric etc. Even removed the roof bed to rule that out. But just cannot get this side to close flush anymore trying to...

I have sports kit I put on the roof. I stand on the back wheels to strap stuff onto the roof rack. I want to lower the van but don’t know how low I can go and still stand on the back wheel. How low have you gone in this situation?

Original panel roof adhesive is getting softer in the sun making the roof panel to lift off the transversal bars a little bit, basically it is not bonded very well anymore. Anyone seen this before? Maybe it is something I have done when fitting the soundeadning... Do you know what is that...

Not an owner myself, but may provide a solution worthy of consideration for someone...

I have been thinking about getting the roof of my Ascot grey van painted black. Got it looked at this morning and the painterpointed out something I hadn’t considered. He felt it would potentially increase the temperature a lot during the summer months. I know a few people have had theirs done...

Having washed it last weekend, I got a good look at the roof. Ribs run front to back as you all know, and it’s fairly flat up there. Van was damp this morning, and I had a short drive in stop start traffic. The water just kept on coming onto the screen. My old T4 was slightly domed meaning it...

Hey all, forum newb. Recently got a T6 for a MTB/Camping/Daily beast. Just added roof bars last week and thinking about mounting a roof tent and Solar panel up there, wondering on what the suggestions are regarding getting cables through the roof skin into the vehicle.... this is the...

Our campervan has been parked under trees for the last few months during lockdown and even the jet wash is struggling to get black marks off the pop top roof and we've just noticed there is a mossy type mould within the gap at the front of the roof! :eek: Does anyone know of any solutions...

Hi, I’ve now been driving my T6 for a week or so and have discovered a panting noise from the roof when the drivers side window is open, it’s bloody annoying. I have a Caravelle and so don’t expect the roof to be panting away like a panel van. My T5.1 Caravelle didn't do it and I don’t know...

Hi all .... cleaning the van roof today and noticed this funny bit of what looks like seam sealer on the roof . Anybody else had this before ? Bit odd , as it obviously came from the factory like it , as it’s been sprayed over . It’s like someone has got a bit carried away with the sealer !

Hi, anyone had there roof wrapped yet? If so how much approx? Been quoted £200 (mates rate I think) for paint. Can't decide between permanent or removable in the future. Thanks.

Morning all, I am currently making use of my time at home by embarking on the sound deadening and insulation journey. So far all is going well and the panels have come off to leave no unexpected issues. I have noticed however that the roof has come away from all of the cross beams of the...

Snow Foam - How I Did It - Its Friday, Its Sunny, Its time to wash the van ! Detailing is one of those catch 22 things for me, i wake up and say - today is the day!!!! I get all the kit out, . . . . get started . . . . . . . .And, Then get board half way through and wish i never started...

The previous owner of my van had a bulkhead in it which has now been removed. The middle roof panel which is directly behind where the bulkhead was is starting to sag at the front. Should this now be replaced with a longer panel or is there a wider strip panel to hold them up.

Hi there, not sure if anyone has done this but I plan on fitting a panoramic roof to my T6. I cant find a company so DIY it is! I would rather a company though if anyone has any contacts!? Cheers, Mikey.

Hey guys I have noticed the stainless steel brackets on top of the rear hinges on the SCA 194 pano roof are causing damage to the canvas as it closes. Before you all shout the obvious it has nothing to do with the canvas bellowing out. It’s where the canvas attaches to the roof with the Alu...

Hi all, I'm curious to know how much £ you can save by doing it yourself if you feel competent with these sorts of diy. Any info welcomed. As always, thanks. James

Im thinking of mounting some work lights on the Thule bars on the roof of my van. Is there a way to route the cables into the van and towards the cockpit? I do hope i dont have to drill holes in the roof and try to get that rust-safe. And also to squeese the cables between doors and gaskets...
