Has anyone got a photo of their 'van roof (preferably on a recent Troll) showing it from the back with the pop-top closed down tight? Ours seems to have a gap at the back and I want to know if I am imagining things! I know the black edging isn't actually a seal but I didn't think there was supposed to be a space between the top and the main roof. If you stand inside when the roof is closed you can see daylight through the folded up canvas.

There has recently been a thread touching on this.

Pop top roof seal

You will see a picture of how my roof panel fits as you scroll down in the thread.

As I replaced my seal, I commented on how poorly the roof fitted at the front. A comment by Frantone suggested that it was just that the roof was out of shape and told of how poorly one of his Eribas had a roof fit. You may well be suffering from the same thing that Frantone and I had observed...

The seal that I have just fitted you will see is 'deeper' that my original (2002 Troll) and has helped to a certain extent.

I think we were referring to older Eribas than Magpie’s which is very new.

Hi 2016 540GT 15mm gap in the middle at the back of the roof, tapering to nothing 75mm each side of middle !!! Rest of the roof is tight.

Ah, I see. Sorry for any confusion... The newer roof style is somehing I wasn't aware of..

Certainly doesn’t look right. That’s a big gap. Does it close a little bit if you hang on the middle handle?
If AL are not helpful then a possible tweak might be to pull the edge seal down a little in that area just enough to close the gap but still gripping the pop top edge.

Thanks Frantone and Randa. I've just sent the photos off to AL.

Just stuck a light on the back of my roof and cannot see the light inside !!

Thank you so much for going out and looking!!

Just moving this on up for Eribaist with similar problem.

Would be good to know what response you get - I have gaps under front and back on our July 2013 540 - see thread 'Gap under roof's beak'.
I added a photo today of the gap at the rear (which I only realised was there when we pulled the blinds down, having taken back to the farm where we store it today).

Will be sending photos of the gaps to A.L. this week (and also of the 'drooping doorstep'). Hope to get some kind of idea of what will be involved in dealing with the issues prior to taking it down there late next month for a (pre-booked) annual service.

PS - just seen your response in the other thread - I will let you know what their response is!
