I fitted an electric sunroof not long after I bought the van and it’s been really good to have it. I then bought a Eurovan moon roof but that’s quite a project as I’d need to fit drain tubes. Still have it if anyone wants a go??
But then on eBay I bought two Hollandia Onyx 860s brand new for £110 each. Then I bought another two.......
Then I bought a Polo Open Air roof, reskinned it and planned to fit that instead! That’s for sale too, with 3m of extra matching roof vinyl. PM me if interested!
But after much much deliberation I’ve decided to go back to the quad sunroof idea.
As you know the ribs are there in the roof and the third bay is shorter. Therefore I’m going to remove the second rib, plate a span of 1mm steel in and fit the middle two roofs. When that’s all good I’ll replace the front electric (and sell it!). I always wanted to add a 4th roof to the rear bay but now I’ve fitted a solar panel I might not, nevertheless I may be able to if I can design a way of pitching the panel whilst camping (it’s already bonded onto an ally sheet so semi rigid).
Roof as is:
Rough measurements
Internal
I’ve finally found a method of retaining a roof blower system as well.
Hoping for good weather on Friday so I can commence phase one!!
