🚐 Rear Elevating Roof for Renault Kangoo SWB – Compact Camper Conversion, Done Right | Renault Kangoo SWB Elevating Roof Conversion

Renault Kangoo SWB Elevating Roof Conversion (Short Wheelbase) is a beloved microvan across the UK and Europe, known for its efficient footprint, practical load space, and car-like drivability. Ideal for city driving, outdoor adventures, and everything in between, the Kangoo is often chosen for compact campervan builds — and for good reason.

However, the one major drawback of the Kangoo? Limited internal headroom.

Our professionally fitted rear elevating roof conversion solves that issue by giving you full standing space in the back of your van — creating a much more usable, comfortable, and versatile living environment. Whether you’re building a micro-camper for weekends away, festivals, or stealth urban vanlife, this is the most valuable upgrade you can make to your Kangoo SWB.

🧱 Custom-Built for the Renault Kangoo SWB

This isn’t a universal pop-top — it’s a tailor-made rear elevating roof designed specifically for the Renault Kangoo SWB model. The roof shell follows the Kangoo’s body shape perfectly, offering a sleek and factory-style fit with no visual compromise.

It provides much-needed standing height in the rear section of the van, making it ideal for layouts with kitchens, fridges, pull-out beds, or modular seating areas.

Compatible with all standard roof Kangoo SWB models from 2009 onwards, including petrol and diesel variants.

• ✔️ Stainless steel hinges and gas struts

• ✔️ Heavy-duty waterproof sealing and bonding system

• ✔️ All professional-grade fixings and hardware

• ✔️ Installation by our team or UK-wide approved network
