DIY kit

If you are having it supplied as a kit, it comes fully assembled, with headlining, gas struts, hinges, handles, seals, locking straps, and canopy already fitted. We supply everything down to nuts, bolts, pop rivets, etc. The only thing you should need to buy is a tube of silicone sealant.

The kit also comes with comprehensive fitting instructions, and Pete at the end of the phone if you have any queries.

Simon, our man with a van, can deliver a roof to you anywhere in the UK for £1.30 per mile  plus vat.  (So if you live 100 miles away, the cost is £130 plus vat).

If you would like a quote for international shipping or haulage, please contact us.

one day fit

This is not available for the T4 roof.

fitting option

For fitting - we can either do this for you, or we can recommend a number of fitters in the UK and abroad. And any good garage should be able to do this for you too. We supply comprehensive fitting instructions, with Pete at the end of the phone if you have any queries. For fitting in our workshop, we ask to have your van for a week and customers usually bring their van down on a Friday or Saturday and collect the following Friday or Saturday. Thinking of holidaying whilst you are in Devon? We can fit your roof in a shorter timescale if your van and current roof meet certain criteria. Call Pete on 07970 868059 or email pete@spaceroofs.co.uk

framework & strengthening

A pressed 1mm powder coated panel is fitted down both sides of the cut hole to add longitudinal strength and support the bed framework. If you are having the bed system, an overhead cab strengthening stretcher is used to reinforce the cab area of the van.

Measurements

The hinges and framework lift the side of the roof so you are left with over 8 ft of head space along the loading length of the van. Once the roof is fitted to your van, it adds approx 10 cm to the height of your van.
