Hi Richard (or is it Alan?) and welcome to Eribafolk.

This problem has occured on several occassions to Eribacars and older Eriba Touring vans as well. Here's one thread on the subject Pop Up Roof Issue on My Bali and there are several others on this forum (see search engine) and also on our Eribafolk facebook page.

As you can see by the pics on the above links, the Eribacar, because of its age, and other classic Eribas, have an equal angle holding the laminated roof together and to the scissors mechanism whereas newer models (ours is a 1999 Troll) have an unequal angle with the longer leg clamping the inner roof as well as the rest of the laminate.

Its' difficult to find the discussion on facebook because it has no filing system but two folk have tackled the probem in different ways. One took his Eribacar to a local fibreglass expert and they reglued the roof together for him at a cost of around £150. The other researched various glues on the market and did it himself. I still think that whichever way you choose, invest in an unequal aluminium angle as an extra precaution if it is possible to fit one. Hymer obviously did.
