the roof was off of a mk3 with the normal back doors so i had to cut it a bit to fit the semi high doors on mine then its sealed right all the way round the gutter with tigerseal :)

That's good m8, I'm searching for a hi roof top in local junk yards to fit on mine... but is more dificult than i thought.

If I can't find one I will see if I can make one glass fibre or aluminium on my own....
