Pop Top Features

Twelve details that make the difference.

100kg Carrying Capacity

Most pop top roofs cap at 60kg. Our 17mm fibreglass structure carries kayaks, canoes or a fully loaded roof box.

Secure Roof Locking

A simple internal stainless rotary lock paired with webbing straps, kept in clear view so you always know it's engaged.

Tough Midge-Proof Mesh

A durable mesh that won't snag or tear, fine enough to keep the smallest Scottish midge out, with zip or velcro covers on every vent.

Highest Quality Gas Struts

Wider gauge, far stronger struts that resist rust and leakage, making opening and closing the roof effortless year after year.

Seam-Sealed Stitching

We invested in a complete seam sealing machine so every Ventile stitch is 100% watertight, just like a Goretex jacket.

Fully Removable Canvas

Unzip and slide the canvas free in five minutes at home. Damage? Post it back to us, no specialist visit needed.

No Standing Water

Gently curved convex shape sheds rainwater every time, so puddles never form on top of the van.

Fully Unzipping YKK Zip

Watertight YKK zip, chunky gauge, won't catch or burst. Open the front for sun and a view, or remove the canvas entirely.

Condensation Free

Swiss-woven 100% Ventile cotton, breathable yet wind and water tight. Used by NATO, a clear step above standard canvas.

2 Metre Closed Height

Fibreglass build with a sleek fixed nose cone, reducing wind noise and keeping the lines of your Transporter intact.

Optional Roof Bed

Beech-slatted bed (112cm × 190cm, 150kg capacity) flexes with you and lets air flow, ending the damp foam-board condensation problem.

Head Height in the Back

Raised fibreglass design leaves enough room for a comfortable roof bed and full adult head height in the rear travel seats.

Frequently Asked

Pop top questions answered.

Which vans does the Jerba pop top fit?
The Jerba pop top is designed for the VW Transporter T5, T6 and T6.1, in both Short and Long Wheelbase, with front or rear elevation options.
Can I buy the roof on its own as a DIY kit?
No. We only supply our pop top roof fully fitted by our team in North Berwick. This protects the warranty, the seal integrity and the safety of the install.
How long does fitting take?
Fitting typically takes around two weeks at our workshop. We’ll book you a slot in advance and keep you fully updated through the build.
How much weight can the roof actually carry?
Up to 100kg dynamic load on the roof bars, well above the typical 60kg limit. Plenty for kayaks, a roof box or two bikes.
What if the canvas is damaged?
Just unzip the YKK zip and slide it free, then post it to us for repair. No specialist call-out, no labour to remove it from your van.
Do you offer a roof bed?
Yes. Our optional Beech-slatted roof bed is 112cm × 190cm and supports a combined 150kg, with a 30mm dense foam mattress and removable cover.
