Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 O yeah. so many posts ! and did you fit it yourself if so how easy/hard was it ?Yes I fitted myself, I wouldn't say it was difficult to but it was time consuming to fit it well. Once you've got the first pop stud set in the centre of the tub and on the hood you just work your way outwards from there fitting each one in turn. It takes a while though as for each pop stud you'll need to remove the hood from the car to punch the vinyl and fit the stud, the refit it again to mark the position for the next one. From memory (as it was a while ago) mine took just over half a day to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali and Gail Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi all On this subject I have just bought my first Westy which has come with a full factory roof, frame and doors. The car has had a factory boot lid fitted and it looks like the frame will not go on with this in place. Can anyone advise please. Thanks in advance Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi. My frame sits inside the bootbox lid. I lift up the lid and the frame sits inside and then the lids closes and locks in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Having a hood offers one big advantage.... when you come to sell your car... You attract 1st timers off Autotrader/Ebay who pay top dollar and won't possibly consider buying a car without a roof . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
