Recommendation To Get A C Rail Fitted In Scotland

[ChrisB]

Hi
I've got a conversion with a pop-up roof and want to get a C Rail fitted to allow me to attach a canopy tent (Sheltapod to be precise). Whilst I know I can use clamps or webbing straps, a C rail attachment seems the best option. However, the roof gully fixings are already being used by the struts for the pop-up and therefore the C rail will need to be bonded to the side.
Can anyone recommend someone in Scotland to do this?
Thanks
Chris

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you need a Reimo Multirail - Reimo MultiRail UK Van Left Passenger Side SWB | Rails & Brackets

And then a local garage to fit, it's very simple, there are a couple of video's on Youtube if you want to DIY it.

I have one on my van, very discrete and does the job perfectly.

You can just fit a C channel - you don't necessarily need a Reimo multirail, something like this:

Not sure of which pop top, but this may still fit:
VW T5 Bolt On Awning Rail Pop Top Roof - Camper Essentials

I had exactly this problem @Chris B . My vans getting work done at Raven Automotive in Kirkcaldy just now otherwise I'd photograph my solution for you. Basically a 2.5 metre length of aluminium angle bar. Sits on top of the strut bolts but fixes with spacer washers to the remaining three unused threaded holes in the roof. C channel awning rail is then screwed to the vertical face if the angle bar. Works a treat and cost about £30 to make.

Hi, we've just bought a sheltapod and hope our reimo multi rail will do the trick?

Any advice appreciated as we're new to the awning world!

Just looked at the Sheltapod website, you just need a kador strip and a figure of 8 and you’ll be fine
