The Ford Transit Connect LWB Pop-Top Roof Conversion is the ultimate upgrade for anyone wanting to transform this practical compact van into a comfortable, fully-featured camper. Its long wheelbase offers more interior layout space than the SWB model, making it a popular choice for micro-campers across the UK.

However, the one thing it lacks is standing height.
That’s where our expertly fitted Front Elevating Pop-Top Roof comes in.

At Pop Top Nation, we install a lightweight, durable pop-top roof that opens up the interior for standing height, improves airflow, and even allows for an optional sleeping area above the main cabin. Designed to keep the van’s nimble handling and low profile intact, this upgrade unlocks the Connect’s full camper potential.

🚐 Vehicle Compatibility

This pop-top roof is precisely engineered for:

• Ford Transit Connect LWB (Long Wheelbase)

• Year Range: 2014 and newer (Mk2 LWB)

• Compatible with petrol and diesel engines

• Fits Trend, Limited, and Base trim levels

• Ideal for side-kitchen or full-length bench layouts

👉 Not suitable for SWB (short wheelbase) models.
If you’re unsure about your van’s fitment, share your registration number or roof dimensions and we’ll confirm compatibility.
