Mazda Bongo Pop-Top Roof Replacement & Installation — Fitted in the UK by CCCampers

Has your Mazda Bongo pop-top roof stopped working, split, or worn out? You're not alone — failed pop-top roofs are one of the most common issues on Bongo campervans in the UK, and CCCampers specialise in replacing them with a brand new Stargaze Front Elevating Pop-Top Roof. Whether your original canvas has torn, your mechanism has seized, or your GRP has cracked, we remove the old roof and fit a high-quality replacement, professionally installed at our Worcestershire workshop. We are a UK specialist in campervan conversions and all-electric campervan work, holding IMI Level 3 TechSafe EV/hybrid training, NCC Academy Trained and AWS Approved Workshop accreditations. All prices include VAT.

Why Replace Your Bongo Pop-Top?

The Mazda Bongo's original factory pop-top roof is well over 20 years old on most UK examples. Canvas deterioration, seized or broken lift mechanisms, cracked GRP panels, and leaking seals are all common failure points. A new Stargaze pop-top roof fitted by CCCampers gives your Bongo a like-new roof with modern marine-grade canvas, hydraulic gas struts, and a durable GRP shell — built to last for many more years.

Why Front-Opening?

The front-opening design hinges at the rear, raising the front of the roof to position maximum headroom over the living and kitchen area — exactly where you spend most of your time. It creates a bright, open interior with excellent natural ventilation through the canvas sides.

Built for British Weather, Year-Round

Marine-grade, waterproof, double-seamed canvas with aluminium trim profiles — built to last in all UK conditions, from summer festivals to winter escapes. Fitted from our workshop in Worcestershire, serving customers across the West Midlands, Birmingham, Coventry, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Wales, Gloucestershire, Bristol and nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Mazda Bongo pop-top roof has stopped working — can you replace it?
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we carry out at CCCampers. Failed or worn-out Bongo pop-tops are extremely common on UK examples given their age, and we specialise in replacing them with a new Stargaze front elevating pop-top roof. We remove your old roof and fit the replacement in one visit at our Worcestershire workshop.

What are the most common Mazda Bongo pop-top roof problems?
The most common issues on UK Bongos are torn or split canvas, seized or broken lift struts, cracked or delaminating GRP panels, and leaking seals around the roof aperture. All of these are resolved by a full roof replacement rather than a patch repair.

Does this also fit the Mazda Bongo Friendee?
Yes — the Bongo Friendee shares the same platform and is compatible with this fitment. The Ford Freda is also compatible.

Do you remove the old roof as part of the service?
Yes — removal and disposal of your existing failed roof is included in the price.

How long does the replacement take?
Most Bongo pop-top roof replacements are completed within 3–5 days at our Worcestershire workshop. Lead times vary by season — book early to secure your slot.

Is the fitting included in the price?
Yes — the £3,725 price includes full professional installation by our NCC Academy Trained and IMI TechSafe registered technicians, plus removal of your old roof. VAT is included.

Can I add a roof bed or solar panels?
Yes — optional roof bed boards and solar panel integration are available as extras. Discuss your full specification when you enquire.

My Bongo has other modifications — will that affect the fitment?
In most cases no, but please advise of any modifications prior to booking so our team can assess compatibility and provide an accurate quote.

Ventilation and Applicable Standards

Applicable standards depend on the work carried out and the vehicle’s specification. BS EN 721 (Leisure accommodation vehicles — Safety ventilation requirements) covers the minimum sizes and positions of permanent ventilation openings to help manage gas build-up and carbon monoxide risks. Ventilation must be considered for both LPG-equipped and gas-free vans. BS EN 1949 applies to LPG installations where fitted and is not applicable to gas-free builds.

Roof beds are optional add-ons and are not included as standard.
