Thanks mate..........thats the go i think.

If you want to send me your email address I will send you the installation instructions. They are handy to have as you need to cut your roof out a bit to make sure it is 100% square before making the order.

can you do this to tin top roofs? as in no camper at all, and just cut a hole and wack in a rag top into the top of a kombi?

does it mess around with the strength and structure of the vehicle?

You sure can. The purists would say don;t cut a good roof, and I cannot bring myself to sut my roof to install the 2m sunroof I have sitting at home, but if you do it you have to sure up the hole.
For a 2m long one like what I was going to put in, you would use the front supprt where it is, the middle one you would shift to the back and the long sides of the hole would have to be supported with 25x25x3mm angle. (or you could bend up a similar section to the cross supports so it looks factory.)

Otherwise, if done right it is no different to having a pop top. Probably should get an engineers certificate I suppose though.
