    I've been looking on the Internet and need to measure up as it's rather expensive. I think maybe I can get away with cab roof bit. It's the white stuff with little holes in. It's only the sunroof bit as the rest is the padded material. Would I need to take the sun roof out do you think? I realise this is a loaded question given your determination to take my sunroof out anyway! :)

    Thanks, just had a look. I could even change from the type I've got to better match the rest of the ceiling. Is there a particular reason to have perforated? Does it allow moisture out? I'm considering a different colour and they're not perforated.

    A lot of the perforated stuff actually isn't; it's just dots printed on the material. No idea why!

    I guess the theory behind perforated is to let it breathe but modern stuff is rarely holey, just better insulated

    Shame @geordieandy .
    We were looking forwards to your unique camping style of bringing along a perfectly functional Westy & then spending a damp cold night under a blanket in a camping chair!
