Will the GoWesty Skylight Kit fit my Vanagon Westfalia, and do I need to do any modifications for early models?

The GoWesty Skylight Kit is designed to fit all 1980-91 Vanagon Westfalia models equipped with the factory skylight. If your Vanagon doesn’t currently have a skylight (common on some early models), additional roof cutting and fabrication are required to install this kit. We recommend reviewing GoWesty’s install video and consulting with a qualified installer before beginning any significant modifications.

What’s included in the Vanagon Skylight Kit, and will I need any extra hardware or instructions for installation?

The Skylight Kit comes complete with the skylight lens (choose Translucent Bronze or Opaque Black), new hinges, hardware, gaskets, and installation instructions. Most customers find everything needed for standard replacement is included. You won't need extra hardware unless your Vanagon is missing key components from a factory skylight. GoWesty provides detailed instructions and an easy-to-follow install video, which we highly recommend watching before you start.

How do I choose between the Translucent Bronze and Opaque Black skylight lens options, and what’s the impact on interior lighting and privacy?

Translucent Bronze allows natural light into your Vanagon’s interior, keeping it bright while still offering some UV protection. Opaque Black blocks sunlight entirely, maximizing privacy and reducing heat gain. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a well-lit cabin or enhanced privacy. Both lenses are designed to fit perfectly with the Skylight Kit for Vanagon Westfalia models.

*Remarque sur les plastiques intérieurs : Pour ceux qui souhaitent assortir leur intérieur, nous recommandons la peinture en aérosol « Krylon Fusion », spécialement formulée pour les plastiques.

Remarque d'installation : Lorsque vous installez ce puits de lumière, veillez à ne pas trop serrer la quincaillerie. Les écrous qui se connectent à la lucarne doivent seulement être bien serrés. Un serrage des écrous au-delà de ce point peut entraîner des fissures autour des trous de montage. Aucune notice incluse. L'installation est essentiellement l'inverse du retrait. Regardez la vidéo des conseils d'installation de GoWesty ! Le guide Bentley contient également des instructions.
