Underside of westy pop top

Hi

what’s everyone done on the underneath of pop top on Westy ? Mine had some carpet glued on which just pulled down (going to picking the backing off for days !)

I’m not even sure how it was in original state ?

Front hinge roofs were just bare GRP, later rear hinge ones were flocked.

 

Having lived with a bare front hinged one, they can drip condensation on your kiddies, maybe that's why VW started flocking them and why yours had carpet stuck on.

 

Cheers , just been looking around and thinking of poss going for a foam backed headliner

Yes mine is single GRP, it did drip until I hung a sheet of breathable roofing felt, on curtain wire about 2 inches below. Acts as a terrific barrier, never had a drip since . Kept the original GRP so others may wish to dabble with other coverings.

 

I just told my kids to stop moaning, we were harder back then.

 

I haven’t got kids….I’m just a wimp

 

I used stretchy car carpet covering stuff ( im so technical i know) works well, stuck on with bostick.

Ah, well it would drip on you then. I had kids between to soak up the drips so I was alright. lol

 

That’s why I sorted it !

 

You are just so concerned about yourself, you realise that it’s far more trouble to burn damp northerners on your “ log burner”

 

I am so reassured by that, I have “ an arrangement “ locally and can deliver 1m cube fresh for 200€ or 1m cube seasoned ( in herbs) for €300 . I’d personally go for the former though there are some unsightly bits protruding, and it may not pass your weird co2 emission charges.
Pm me if interested.

 

Ps I think we have hi jacked the thread….sorry

 

Ha! No worries , enjoying the read
