VW T5 T6 - Installing Skyline Aurora SWB Pop Top Roof from Skyline Roofs

A video fully detailing how to fit the Skyline Aurora, including cutting out measurements, fitting the framework, putting the pop top on, fixing the hinges, fitting the compression latches/locks, canvasing and pointing. Filmed right here at Skyline HQ in Langford, Somerset.

Damn, think you've just added to my shopping list. Very nice work, video & accent.

The amount of screws that go straight into the bodywork with no rust treatment is shocking and put me off getting one fitted , I’m also very shocked theres no weather seal anywhere apart for the locking mechanism, I would love to take a pop top off a van after a few years and examine how much rust damage there is

There looks to be a lot of drilled and untreated screw holes in the roof.

That angle grinder possibly caused lots of spark damage, should be using a blade really 😏

[@onlythetruthfull]

I do not like all that grinding destroying the windscreen and rear door etc. But a good video.

I called skyline to buy a roof..but would not sale me one because I need to go for a days course at £200.. to learn how to fit one.. well I've just watch this video & saved £200..

Well you haven't because they still wont sell you one until you have the cert from their course to fit it...

[@stueypinnock8875]

@@tobywan12 a cert to be a cowboy.. they dont cover the camper up when grinding & cutting.. also was told by someone who was on the course..that skyline again didn't cover the camper or any campers next to the one they was cutting..

@@stueypinnock8875 WOW really, thats pretty shite to be honest. You'd think from a "branded manufacturer" they would have the upmost in quality. They'll still charge you for that cert in order to sell you a roof though. Be intresting to see if the other brands such as Remio, Austops etc have the same installation methods.
Deffo would expect more when paying £4000 for a roof
