4.2 Roof Cut-Outs

Roof cut-outs to prepare the subsequent attachment of vent roofs, pop-up tops and high roofs are currently not available ex works.

B. Retrofitting of Roof Cut-Outs

1. It is possible to realise roof cut-outs between the bows and the lateral roof chassis. For details, see below.



2. Roof cut-outs between bows B and C are only permitted at wheel base 2,920 mm. Details on the max. possible roof cut-out permitted in this situation, see section 3.3 Modification of closed attachments. The cut-out must be provided with the specified reinforcing plate at the left-hand and right-hand side. Both reinforcing plates are to be welded to the roof, the B- and C-bows as well as to the bow stubs of the bow which has been cut out (between B- and C-bow).



3. Large roof cut-outs for normal roof versions and both wheel bases to retrofit high roofs and pop-up tops. - Only for vehicles with max. sliding door -



On the left-hand and right-hand side, the large roof cut-out is limited in the passenger compartment/boot space by the sheet edges of the lateral roof chassis (see sectional view A-A). In the rear area, the cutting edge runs along the edge of the D-cross-beam interior plate (see sectional view B-B).
