dented roof

Post by khisanth » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:00 am

Hi all. I have a bongo and did not realise at first that that the fibreglass roof has a large indentation. I also fitted a solar panel.

Is there anyway i can get the large indentation out of the roof. I tried initially from the inside but its got a wooden support on the inside.

Its not an autofree top its a manual lift one.

Any help be greatly appreciated

That's interesting ... mine has an indentation too. I believe it's a moulding taken from an AFT (I can see the outline of a sunroof in mine). I'd certainly be interested to learn if there is any way to rectify this (I suspect not or if so I assume it won't be a simple fix).

I reverse off my drive with the drivers window open. The van doesn't get used everyday and if I'm not careful and havent thought about the weather over the previous few days I can easily get drenched with water that's collected despite having the standard wind deflectors !

If that's from the fibre glass mould
You ain't getting that out

Could fill with more fibreglass sheeting and resin / filler
Then paint
