Getting to know my Westy

qyouquestion said:

Hi all, I’ve had my California Westfalia 2002 for over a year now, got to know most things however on the inside of the pop top there are 5 round plastic shaped studs, with upside down T shaped slots in them as if you can put something in them. Two either side one in the centre. Anyone know what these are for?

Certainly an aftermarket item. Are there any unusual fixings on the front edge of the roof bed? Inclined to agree with @bxl_lxd but haven’t seen one using these fixings before.

Thanks guys, when the pop top is up I can’t see anything like a net wondering if they could be where you can attach a thermal screen???

likely mounts for a net (to stop kids/things falling from the bed)...
I feel sure I've seen these before for that purpose, though google image search I can't find examples.

No unusual fittings on edge of bed,

I guess the net (thermal screen or what-ever they're for) was not passed on when you bought the vehicle...

I'm sure there will be someone out there who can identify the use, I have seen these before (though can't remember where, could have been when we were scouting for a Cali to buy), so they're not unique...

Are they bolted all the way through the roof (so are visible from the outside)?

I have the net (but no bin lids that need restraints). I can post a pic with it installed.

TBH every time I put the roof up I think I should remove it.
