Replacing the bellows in the VW T4
THE PROJECT
Over the years, the bellows from the pop-up roof get holes, damage and, in the worst case, even mold. Then it's time for a swap! At the same time, we recommend replacing the seal and piping, as these become brittle over the years and can cause leaks. The tent fabric was available in a choice of gray or beige, as well as options with two or three windows or an Opensky roof.
THE VEHICLE
Before: VW T4 with Westfalia extension
Afterward: New bellows in the pop-up roof
- Exchange of the original bellows for a pop-up roof with 3 windows and mosquito net (can be opened completely with a zipper)
- Option OpenSky
- Exchange of hood lock, complete seal and tent piping
