One which seems to be rather popular is the Skyline Roof and with hindsight... Google them.

Found their website but looked as they only do them for the T5? :(

After a long time looking at various options I contacted Skyline roofs to see who they would recommend to fit one of their roofs (I saw on face book that they manufactured a roof for the Bongo) Although it is not mentioned on their web site they were happy to supply and fit the roof themselves. The whole experience was a pleasure, they were a very friendly bunch, did a professional job and were happy to answer any questions that I had. I strongly suggest anybody who is looking to have a pop top fitted to a tin top Bongo contacts them. I am a very happy customer (and the roof is a great addition), I am so glad I went ahead with it) :D

I should have mentioned it at the time - Skyline Roofs also fitted a 140 watt solar panel to keep my leisure battery topped up. Off to France in the summer - can't wait.
