Skyline pop-top roofs, installed to M-Craft standards
A Skyline roof is a sound choice, but the fitting matters just as much as the roof itself. We plan the reinforcement, sealing, interior finish and electrical work around your van as one complete job.
How we prepare, reinforce and finish the roof
The work you cannot see is just as important as the roof itself. We treat preparation, reinforcement, sealing and finishing as core parts of the installation.
Preparation
Before any cutting starts, we protect the vehicle, check the measurements and service routes, and confirm the position of the roof opening.
Reinforcement and fit
We fit and align the specified reinforcement and roof components as a complete system, taking account of any requirements for the individual vehicle.
Sealing and finishing
We check every sealing surface, along with the canvas and bed clearances, trims and visible interior finish, for a neat and durable result.
The Skyline options we recommend
Skyline offers Standard, Aurora and Skylow roof ranges, with a choice of canvases, beds, finishes and accessories. We will talk you through the sensible options for your van and the way you plan to use it.
Roof model and opening direction
The right choice depends on the vehicle, wheelbase, interior layout, preferred roof profile and whether a front- or rear-elevating roof works best with the conversion.
Canvas, bed and finish
We consider the canvas type and colour, bed arrangement, mattress, colour coding and any roof-bar requirements together, so the specification works as a whole.
Current pricing
Skyline’s options and prices can change, so we link to its current price list rather than copying figures here. We then provide an installed quotation for your own vehicle.
Lighting and electrics: our own specification
M-Craft fits Skyline roofs, but we carry out lighting and electrical work to our own specification. We use our preferred components, wiring methods and installation standards rather than Skyline’s standard accessory lighting packages.
Planned with the whole conversion
We plan cable routes, switches, control locations and future access alongside the furniture, lining, roof movement and the van’s existing electrical system.
Components we know and trust
We choose lighting and electrical components to suit the agreed system, the required finish and straightforward future servicing.
Checked before handover
We test the lighting, switching and final installation before the van is handed back.
Why we use Skyline roofs
We use Skyline because the range gives us practical choices for different vans and conversion layouts. M-Craft is listed by Skyline as an approved installer as part of their fitter network, but we still recommend each roof on its suitability for the individual van — not simply because it appears on a price list.
Chosen for the van
We start with the vehicle, wheelbase, conversion layout and intended use, then recommend a roof configuration that makes sense for the job.
Fitted as one complete job
We plan the roof, reinforcement, sealing, bed, trim and any electrical work together rather than treating them as separate accessories.
Finished the M-Craft way
Our priority is a neat, durable installation that looks right inside and out. We check the finished job carefully before handover.
Which vans suit a Skyline roof?
Skyline lists roofs for several popular campervan platforms. We always confirm the exact roof and configuration against the individual vehicle before any work is agreed.
Popular mid-sized vans
Skyline lists applications for Volkswagen T4, T5 and T6, Ford Transit Custom, Renault Trafic, Vauxhall Vivaro and Nissan Primastar.
Larger vans
Skyline also lists options for Volkswagen Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter. Suitability depends on vehicle generation, wheelbase, layout and intended roof use.
Checked before we quote
Send us the registration, model, year, wheelbase and conversion stage. We will confirm fitment and flag any constraints rather than assume compatibility.
How M-Craft fits a Skyline roof
Fitting a pop-top affects the vehicle structure, weather sealing and interior finish. We treat it as a complete conversion stage, with each part of the job considered from the first assessment through to handover.
Before work begins
We confirm the vehicle details, roof specification, opening direction, conversion layout, existing services and agreed finish before work begins.
During installation
We protect the vehicle and work through the job in a clear sequence: preparation, roof opening, reinforcement, fitting, sealing, trim and any agreed electrical work.
Final checks and handover
Before handover, we check the roof operation, alignment, clearances, visible finish and every agreed accessory.
