I’m looking at a 2nd hand Peugeot Boxer campervan, 2018 converted by Ventura.
When the pop top is down it has about a 3cm gap at the back right and 1cm at the back left, it’s tight at the back middle.
Dealership says that “because of the position of the scissor hinges it won’t go all the way down, we can adjust it and it will be closer but it will still have a gap, but that’s ok because water will run away along the gutter groove”.
This sounds like BS, I think the roof is somehow misshaped or has been poorly fitted. It’s got some 2cm thick plastic blocks which are sandwiched between the van body and the scissor hinges which look odd, they would raise the roof up by 2cm and cause the problem - why they are there, I can only guess it was a bodge of some sort to fix another problem.
Does anyone have a Poptop roof, or even better a Poptop roof on a Boxer? Is it watertight at the back?
I can only assume previous owners parked it in a garage and didn’t use it in the rain much as there is no sign of water ingress on the canvas.
