Pop Top Roof

Postby Dandyd » Mon Jan 12, 2026 8:39 pm

Hi all
I'm looking for a pop top roof for my newly acquired mk7.
Does anyone have experience of having one fitted, and recommations, or avoids.
I ask as it's hard to find decent reviews, and this is a unregulated field.

Cheers for the link Dumper. Dandyd, worth adding - a few of the well known conversion companies do pop tops (Reimo, CH Campervans, Van Demon type outfits) so it's worth phoning round a couple and asking specifically what fabric/frame they use, as that's usually where the cheaper ones fall down over time (canvas rotting, poor seals letting damp in).

Also ask if they'll come and fit it themselves or if it's supply only - some will subcontract to a local body shop which can be hit and miss. If you can find one that's done a few on MK7s specifically that's ideal since the roof profile differs a bit from the MK8.

Might be worth posting in the campervan conversion Facebook groups too, more people posting build photos there than write proper reviews on here.
areas that mostly tyre fitting company don't cover in uk.

Sorry it was a little rude of me dumper in not getting back on this. I ended up going with streamline roof from Washington. I
Also to nadab if you've not got one I'd recommend the above.
