    view of tunnel tube from underside ,ie inside van , i finished mine off to roof lining with trimmers edging in black .[​IMG] Couldnt get roof up today as in carport and got tied up with other stuff. roofs quite dirty at mo too . If i can help with any other pics or stuff shout .
     
  5. Im in Burford, my roof is all exposed at the mo as i havent put the headlining back, if you want a look
     
  6. Only cost you about a tenner to replace all the rivits, a couple of decent drill bits and two packs of rivits, rest is just time and effort:D

  9. Here are some pics of the one that I did...

    Roof light/vent, had been "sealed" using polyfilla and bathroom mastic

    Vinyl took some shifting... had to heat it up with the paint stripper gun, then scrape/peel it off
    [​IMG]

    Duct tape/sticky plastic as the rubber seal had completely gone
    [​IMG]

    Did some bare metal strips to use the bonding adhesive
    [​IMG]

    Roof cap ready for old top to go in to it!!
    [​IMG]

    Some weight for 48hrs to allow the bond to cure
    [​IMG]

    I then added some polystyrene to give it some insulation
    [​IMG]

    Cut the hole for the Fiamma roof vent
