Will the Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit fit my Westfalia or Eurovan pop-top camper?

Yes! The Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit from GoWesty is designed specifically for pop-top Westfalia Vanagon (1980-1991), Eurovan (1993-2003), and Winnebago campers. The brackets let you easily add traditional roof racks to your camper’s pop-top roof, so you can safely mount gear using standard Yakima or Thule towers without worry about damaging your van.

What exactly comes in the Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit, and how many kits do I need for a roof rack?

Each GoWesty Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit includes four stainless steel brackets (enough for two crossbars), all the bolts and mounting hardware you need, and clear instructions. For a standard roof rack setup with two bars, you’ll need one kit. If you want to install more crossbars, just order additional kits—each kit adds support for two more bars.

Do I need to drill new holes or make any modifications to my pop-top roof for installation?

No new holes required! The GoWesty Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit was designed so you can mount roof rack brackets right to your existing pop-top without extra drilling or permanent modifications. The included hardware attaches securely, and clear step-by-step instructions guide you through the installation process, making it easy for DIYers.

What sets the GoWesty Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit apart from other options?

This kit is made from top-quality, rustproof stainless steel, so it’s built to withstand every adventure and outlast other alternatives. It’s also engineered specifically for Vanagon, Westfalia, and Eurovan pop-top campers, ensuring a precise fit and compatibility with Yakima and Thule roof racks. No need for additional adapters or custom fabrication! Plus, installation is non-invasive and reversible, so you preserve the value and style of your camper.

Do you have any installation tips or best practices for using these brackets with a pop-top?

Absolutely! When installing the Artificial Rain Gutter Bracket Kit, make sure to carefully follow the included instructions. For best results, test the fit before tightening everything down. After mounting, it's a good idea to trim any excess bolt length to prevent them from rubbing against your pop-top tent fabric when the top is closed. This will help extend the life of your pop-top and keep everything working smoothly.

Our stainless steel rain gutter bracket kit is bomber-strong and rustproof. If your old set of brackets has withered away from rust, replace them with these. Ours feature the same bolt pattern as the no longer available Yakima Wide Body Bracket, so they will bolt right onto your top without creating any fresh holes. How sweet is that!

Sold in pairs. Order one kit per rack bar. Typical roof rack systems have 2-bars, so you would need two of these kits. Order three kits for a 3-bar system.
