Brandrup ISO-TOP MK V insulation for VW T6.1 / T6 / T5 pop-up roof
for vehicles with an electro-hydraulic pop-up roof and without the large front opening
Temperature-regulating interior tent
The ISO-TOP MK V interior tent from Brandrup is the all-round talent for the VW pop-up roof, both in transition and in summer. It is specially developed for the electro-hydraulic VW T6.1/T6/T5 roof and is perfect insulation. ISO-TOP insulates and effectively protects against cooling and heating. The tent is ideal for use between approx. -5° to +45° C. There are windows with zippers on the front and sides. These fit the standard windows in the bellows.
An insulating air cushion is created between the bellows and ISO-TOP. This means that it is noticeably cooler under the roof even in midsummer. Opening the window creates a refreshing flow of air. The double wall (bellows + ISO-TOP) insulates heat. In cold weather, the air heated by the heater is hardly blown away by the wind through the bellows.
The high-tech material has a membrane that is both breathable and windproof. In addition to thermal insulation, ISO-TOP also offers efficient protection against moisture and dampens noise. The membrane largely protects the bed mattress from moisture if the roof is closed in the rain and with wet bellows.
The elegant, cozy interior tent does not require any additional storage space. It is always ready for use without any further effort.

Fastening in the bellows
The lower fastening is tight all around using hook and loop fastener. This is the only way to ensure the absolute best insulation in the roof of the VW T6. To do this, fleece tape is attached all around the lower frame of the bellows. This prevents cold air from entering the bed.
The top attachment allows for precise attachment and the best possible seal. At the front, the top is fastened to five brackets that are permanently anchored in the joint of the roof panel. Fastening at the top and sides is also done using hook and loop fastener. A strip of fleece is attached to the outermost pad and to the child protection net eyelet using the narrower hook part, which is located on both sides of the ends of the fleece. The second strip is attached to the front and back eyelets so that it is between the two eyelets. The third attachment is to the eyelet and in the hemstitch of the rear batten. The plate sewn onto the fleece can be inserted into the hemstitch from above and pushed in as far as it will go. The hemstitch must not be under too much tension so that the seam ends do not come loose. The ISO-TOP can then be easily attached to the fleece strap.The new top attachment allows for precise attachment and the best possible seal. At the front, the top is fastened to five brackets that are permanently anchored in the joint of the roof panel. Fastening at the top and sides is done using hook and loop fastener.
A suitable piece of fleece is also glued to the back of the painted aluminum roof and pressed firmly. There are 4 round (Ø 2 cm) fleece straps for each side for attachment in the corner area. There the material must be placed under the roof cladding so that it wraps around the corners.
Additional
The ISO-TOP Mark V insulation can also be used in all VW T6.1 / T6 California that have an electro-hydraulic roof with a large front opening. On the ISO-TOP MK V, three large windows can be opened with zippers – not the entire front wall. The entire front wall can only be opened with the ISO-TOP MK VI inner tent.
The advantage of the ISO-TOP MK V
is that you don’t have to remove any parts when closing the roof. Therefore, when the pop-up roof is raised, the ISO-TOP is immediately ready for use.
When closing the roof, only one window or door facing away from the wind (leeward side) may be open.
The rubber band is also particularly practical as a retraction aid for the roof.
