Top Box Wanted

[BraddersBFC]

Hi, new to this.
Dad has an MP & wants a top box. Halfords haven’t got one that fits & I think it needs to be Westfalia. Anybody know where I can purchase on for his birthday? Thanks

Hiya,
Not sure I understand Halfords comment. The roof box attaches to roof bars so assuming he has these (I suspect perhaps not??) then just get the appropriate size roof box to attach to the bars

See this thread:

Roof racks

hi All, Thule seem to be replying to people saying they don’t have a compatible kit which only leaves the very industrial looking £290 kit from westfalia However I discovered the thread below which has this working combination: The Thule roof rack is composed of three parts. 1. Thule 763...

Sorry, maybe I was being unclear. So roof bars don’t have to be westfalia to attach to a westfalia pop top?

Certainly not. I use the Thule set up with their aero bars and they are great.

I’ll look into it. We’re newcomers to the camper van world!! Thanks for your help

I've just found some pics:

They look perfect. Do you have a measurement for those? Thanks!

Would you’re fit these tracks?

The tracks are the same for the current MP and the one before - I have a friend with a 2006 model and they are the same extrusion.
If you ask Thule they will tell you that they don't make a foot set for the current MP. They are wrong because it fits perfectly.
Simply select Thule kits 753 and 3084 and then the wing bar (smartest option) just like here: https://www.roofracks-roofboxes.co....k-753-roof-bars-763-963-fitting-kit-3084.html
You don't need to specify the wing bar length because you have chosen the vehicle that it fits.
