Isotop MkV - Am I missing a part?

[Lewis]

I got round to fitting our Isotop this week after grabbing one when it briefly came back into stock a couple of weekends ago.

I followed the fantastic video instructions from @itguy and noticed that in his MkVI guide there were short velcro straps at the front. I assumed this was a MkVI improvement but looking across the Brandrup site today it seems they are part of the MkV as well. Does this mean I’m missing these parts as they weren’t in my package?

The isotop fits without them but I wonder if it might affect the fit / longevity over time.

If anyone whose fitted a MkV is able to advise I’d be grateful.

Ah, just found another post linking to this. Seems it's just for the 6.1 with the bigger window opening (I have a T6, so not much use to me)

Is the Brandrup Iso-Top roof insulation worth having?

Having fitted two of these in my previous Calis ( SE and Beach), I can confirm that there is nothing difficult about fitting these liners. However, regarding the ambient temperature for fitting the tape, I'm sure that Brandrup have been advised by the manufacturers of the velcro tape that the...
