Yup. This is something I was really unhappy about.
Our converter left our cover hanging down. I was baffled… they managed to push it into place where it would stay for an entire 17 seconds. I pulled away after spending huge money on a full conversion and the cover flops down.
So I turn right back around and ask what I’m supposed to do with this.
They shrug as if to say… not our problem. I told them I couldn’t believe this is how they expect to leave it.
They then gave me the shite clips from Skyline and say they don’t fit them because they’re dangerous. I agree! But they have no alternative. Idiots.
So I did this. Found this clip on eBay and fitted it. Works well.
Spoke to guys at Skyline months later. They said they had developed a much improved magnetic system but needed to shift their remaining stock of these shitty things first. Not sure if their magnetic system is now implemented.
This aspect of my roof install I was not at all pleased about. The craftsmanship and materials for the the rest is very good.
I would still recommend a Skyline roof. I wouldn’t recommend my conversion company however.

half, a number of the posts here seem to suggest that (possibly due to poor installation), the cams are somehow losing contact with the roof latch. @davecdjt had to have his roof adjusted backwards to apparently increase the overlap of the cams, implying that the cams had been positioned too far back, and whilst this is obviously an installer issue, without the ability to see the catches once the roof is down it's a 'fail to danger' situation as pointed out by @drinfinity. My backside would be in a permanent state of twitch if I had one and couldn't be certain it wasn't going to lift up.
