We've recently bought our first Bongo and among our many questions is what is this metal plate on top of the AFT?

DUNNO most bongo's come with all kinds of bits stuck to them, it's not a factory fitted item.

I suppose the next question then is any suggestions on how best to remove it? I think it's glued/bonded on.

Why bother? You might find a use for it later

Because I'm going to have the roof vinyl wrapped.

Aha
- probably use a heat gun to soften the glue.

Try a hairdrier or similar on the plate it might just soften the glue enough to remove without taking the paint off.
BUT DONT BLAME ME IF IT GOES PEAR SHAPED.

Hi
Tell me to mind my own business, but vinyl wrapped??? Being tall, the Bongo gets walloped by low branches, especially when camping!...they'll scar your wrapping...paint can be touched up. That metal plate may be handy if it's steel....or bond steel to it...mag-mount for TV aerial
Cheers
Helen

Bend a corner up slightly and fashion it into a discreet bottle opener?

How much does it cost for the vinyl roof wrap ?
Does any one know a place in scotland that do it ?
