🚐 Unlock Full Standing Room in Your Toyota Granvia HiAce with a Premium Front Elevating Roof Conversion

The Toyota Granvia HiAce Front Elevating Roof Conversion  is a hidden gem among Japanese import campervan platforms. With its wide body, rear-wheel-drive stability, and smooth inline engines, it’s no wonder that more UK vanlifers are choosing the Granvia for full-scale conversions.

But even with all that comfort and space, there’s one upgrade that takes your build to the next level: a front elevating roof conversion.

Our front pop-top roof gives your Granvia full internal standing height, optional sleeping accommodation, improved airflow, and unbeatable usability — all while preserving its sleek, low-profile look.

Whether you’re planning a full-time conversion, a family camper, or a stealth weekend van, this elevating roof turns your Toyota Granvia HiAce into a true campervan.

🔧 Built Specifically for the Toyota Granvia HiAce

This roof system is tailored to fit the Toyota Granvia (HiAce platform), covering the popular long-wheelbase import models:

• Toyota Granvia / HiAce Regius

• Long Wheelbase (LWB) models

• 1995–2004 models

• 2.7L Petrol, 3.0L Diesel, and 3.4L V6 variants

• Common JDM imports to the UK

We recommend confirming your roof shape at time of booking, as some Granvia models may share dimensions with other HiAce variants.

🧰 What’s Included in the Conversion?

When you book your roof installation with Kinmel Campers, your Granvia receives a complete, professional-grade roof upgrade:

• ✔️ Front-lifting fibreglass roof shell (low profile)

• ✔️ Gas struts and stainless steel hinges for smooth operation

• ✔️ Marine-grade canvas with ventilation options

• ✔️ Flush-fit integrated LED lighting

• ✔️ Steel inner framework for structural support

• ✔️ Full sealing and bonding to weatherproof standards

• ✔️ 5-year parts and labour warranty

• ✔️ Installed at Kinmel Campers HQ or by approved UK fitters

This isn’t a lightweight DIY kit. It’s a professionally engineered, road-tested pop-top system designed for long-term camper use.

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my imported Toyota Granvia?
Yes — this system is designed for most long-wheelbase Granvia HiAce models from 1995–2004. Contact us with your model details to confirm fitment.

Can I sleep in the pop-top?
Yes, with the optional bed boards installed. It’s ideal for a child or small adult (or two kids).

Will it make my van taller?
The closed roof adds minimal height — it remains under most 2m barriers. Always check local clearance if you have roof bars or other accessories.

Does it affect fuel consumption?
Slightly — but the front spoiler and low-profile shell reduce drag to a minimum.

Is it waterproof?
Yes — our installation process includes full weather sealing, bonding, and waterproof materials throughout.

What if my van has a sunroof?
We can remove and seal over the sunroof as part of the conversion process.

Can I still use roof bars?
Only if mounted separately. We do not recommend mounting bars to the pop-top shell itself.

How long does installation take?
Generally 2–3 working days. We will confirm scheduling when you book.
