Nice job! I would of definitely painted the pop top dark brown or tan to color match the van but it looks OK bright white. I have those lift assist struts on my van definitely worth the money.
Bus Depot told me to put the seam for the skylight seal between the hinges (14:06). Yea, in the middle of this and since I have almost a gallon of artic white around, I am using that instead of interlux. I like the interlux, but the 100 dollars, I will spend on H4 headlight upgrade.
This thing looks SWEET!!! Well done🤙 Funny you mention @gotta_split, I know him well. Emilio's a good dude. Well have to meet up at some point and go cruise our VW's☀
Great job and video, doing mine now. Anybody understand what he said the name of the stainless hinges for the solar rig was called? He said it so quick. Thanks
Do you have a video of how you made the structure of the can on the roof of the car? How did you fix? I'm from Brazil and I want to do it in my Ford Explorer
Hell yeah bro, thanks for making this video. I feel more confident in restoring my top. I have never done anything to mine since I got the bus over 15 years ago. The canvas is toasted and the fiberglass top has mold and the fiberglass is worn out. You can see the fibers. Why did you choose that paint? Is it okay not to use a primer? Is it okay for fiberglass?
Depends what kind of condition the flocking is in. If there is decent flocking, Tilex or its generic equivalent, dabbing with paper towels (if its still mounted on the van - protect your eyes, the interior and lungs), or hose it off if it is off, and the flocking will actually hang in there. But if you want to paint it, just knock it off and paint away!!
I was told the flocking was to help with condensation when hot breathe contacts cold roof. IDK. I saw another video where they installed generic car headliner foam...it looked pretty good.
