Thanks so much! It was definitely a rewarding challenge. And yes, we celebrated appropriately! 😄

Thanks! 😊

Thanks a lot!

We found it on a German website called ‘Westagon’!

Thank you, we will! 😊

Thanks Christopher!

Thanks! We will definitely check out that tool for next time! 😄

Agreed!

Nice to hear! If you have any tips on how to make it easier, let us know! :)

Hi Neil! We got the brackets from a German webshop called Westagon. We were indeed lucky enough to get our cut out frame with our roof, so unfortunately we wouldn’t know where to get one. Great to hear that our videos are helpful. Good luck with your conversion! 🚀

@@sunnyadvantures thank you 🙏 That’s great. I’ll take a look.

@@sunnyadvanturesHi, we started fitting our Westy roof yesterday. And the brackets worked really well 👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Keep up the good work

@@sunnyadvantures Nice project! I have been looking for solutions to reinforce the poptop hinges. These brackets are exactly what I need :)

Dankjewel! Gaan we zeker checken :) hier kwamen we in eerste instantie inderdaad ook op uit.

Werkt super en de armaflex houd ook geen vocht vast

Of course! Thanks for watching :D

We are exited to find out! Thanks for the tip, we’ll definitely install the tent like that :)

Thank you!

Haha dit zijn even genoeg gaten voor nu!

😁🙏

Thanks for the tip! We still need to look into the best way to seal all the holes we drilled all around. But I'll definitely look up Teroson :)

@@sunnyadvantures teroson RB2759, you can also use sika flex but it is glue. RB is sealant and can be removed.

Glad that it’s helpful! 😄 For us the frame came with the roof we bought secondhand, and it definitely was used before given the state, so not newly created. Unfortunately, it took us well over a year to find this specific roof with the frame included, so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help in that :(. However, if you search for keywords like Westfalia, Mozaik, Riveting frame it might help you find one. There have been people that were able to recreate the frame in the past, but I don’t know anyone who’s currently doing that. You could try to look on forums like the samba or bulliforum for more information on that!

Thanks so much! I´ll keep on searching! I think there is one company in Poland who made a repro part, but its currently unavailable... Let's see where I end up! Have fun with your gorgeous van! See you on the road! René @@sunnyadvantures

@@PRESSYESMUSICI am also looking for the frame as well. I’m looking to instal my Westy pop top roof soon. I believe Gunzl use to sell them. But they don't seem to sell them at the moment. I would be interested in a frame If you find anyone that sells them. Regards Neil

@@neilp2375 Hey Neil! Bullimania in Poland sold me a frame. Took them 2 years but I think its on stock now. It fits pretty well. Already installed! Cheers, René

Hello Sunny! What a great name 😁. And thank you! We’re very happy with the new roof indeed 😄

Yes, we were very lucky to come across them! 😊

Thank you!

Thanks!

Yes! It fits like a glove 😎. We hope you'll get the chance to do it as well!

True! There was a difference between the hinges of an aftermarket Westfalia Mosaik pop top and an ‘original’ Westfalia pop top. We thought we had bought the first as it came with the frame, but it seemed we had an original or mixed one. Luckily it was an easy fix in the end :)

Good question! Those are really hard to find for a good price where we live. And we love that our van has an automatic transmission, which is also very uncommon here. The combination is even more rare! Plus, we love the color 💛. In short, we have a very specific vision for this van, which is why we don't mind putting in the work for it. :D

Mooie kleur 😄. De template hebben we van de Duitse webshop Westagon. Ze hebben trouwens ook de originele mal. Als je een beetje in de buurt woont kunnen ze hem daarmee ook helemaal voor je aftekenen. Dat scheelt een hoop werk 🙃

@@Gunter8571 Ik ga kijken wat ik kan doen! Het bagagerek zit er al op, dus dat maakt het wat lastiger meten en dus bus staat helaas ook niet in de buurt. Als we er weer zijn zal ik kijken wat ik kan opmeten :)

Great idea! We'll definitively give it a try

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏

Yes, we noticed this as well! Still, the arm rests make driving more comfortable 😊
