Has anyone bought and fitted one of these?

Was it a simple job or a right pain?! Cheers.

To be honest I haven't even looked!

If it isn't what are my options? Thanks.

The rest of the roof is really good that's the frustrating thing! So I could buy that screen and have it fitted by a trimmer? How much do you think that would cost?

i did a stich in one myself but it took hours and although its looks "ok" its far from perfect.

On the plus side it only cost me 14 quid for some clear PVC from a company that does caravan awrnings

Thanks for the feedback might see if I can find a cheap roof then.

A decent roof will not be cheap.

a good used roof will be about £250-£400 unless you can find a bargain. but you may as well spend about £600 and have a brand new roof fitted to your existing frame

I fitted my zip in, took two of us about an hour. lining them up is the hardest part but well worth when it's done

I got mine re done (stitched in) at a place in Chessington.

£200 and it's flawless with a years guarantee.
