We Got a Pop Top Fitted!- VW T5 Camper Project

Something I hadn't planned on doing to the van but really wanted to happened! We got a pop top roof fitted! Massive thank you to the Skyline roofs team for a great product that has been fitted so well! We went for the Syline Aurora LWB Roof with the Bi folding bed board to give us a little more headroom. Just need to get the rest of the van done now so we can get away in it! If you are considering a poptop hit the guys at Skline up.

Never been one for pop tops but this has absolutely changed my mind. 70mm profile looks so slick when it’s down. Amazing stuff you must be buzzing Dan 👌🏻

[paulconnolly]

That looks class Dan, colour code looks spot on as well.

[jeremywilliams]

Makes such a difference when fitted. I know when did my T4 years ago it made so much more room. Looks spot on.

[danbonser]

Great vid Dan. Top job. Nice to see the Mrs. Be good to see a camping film 👍🏼

[paultaylor]

That's more than a 👍 Dan, that is feckin gorgeous now. All that I'd do now is get a dent man on all the imperfections, but that's just me.

[RetroRewind]

Looks amazing dude and they have done such a professional job. I love having a pop top just makes the van so much bigger

[MADMATTRS]

Absolutely incredible work mate and another thing ive seen you do that i now must have and added it to my shopping list hahah

[Kai]

Hello Dan it’s great 👍👍👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai 🙏🛠🔊

[stuartdavison]

Great video mate 👍it brightened up my sunday morning. when Abbie shouted out it's huge it's massive I nearly choked on my coffee ☕️ ☕️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ryrybread]

She said “it's a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be” far too easily 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Top pop-up roof is a great feature, but sawing a large hole has safety concerns.
How did you strengthen the structure? Can it reach the strength of the original car?

[SuperLitherland]

That sliding cover is such a shit design, mine fell out of its runners and landed on my dads legs while he was asleep downstairs.
Also that sharp metal clip they put on rips your clothes as you get up and down. Throw it in the bin it’s horrible !

[sickel.]

🎉 hell yeah nice vid


Dan what are u think about 2.5tdi‘s I just want 1.9 but there so many 2.5‘s and so little 1.9 in Germany 🇩🇪

[rstvan]

Hi Dan your van is looking so good. How do you find the 2.5 engine as I have only ever owned a 1.9 and a 2.0.

[gremo]

Can you tell me the Rim Model an the size? Looks great!

[alexjones]

What a fantastic install, Dan. The level of workmanship and attention to detail is fabulous. Looks sick aired out with the roof up. Getting closer to adventure time!❤

[jake-coombs]

Awsome video but I did hope it was going to be more in depth on how it was fitted.

[dieselbushcraft]

Well done Skyline, the workmanship is great and the mechanical locking mechanism is a brilliant idea. Wish I had seen this two years ago as although the roof I have is great it’s very badly fitted.

[liamwallace]

How much would this of cost dan, to have exactly the same level of detail as yours

[spinyuk]

nice, i've been umming and ah-ing about getting windows put in my panel T5 and those guys are about 20 mins from where I live, so probably time to give them a call :)
