Can anyone help,

I am looking for a cable-less roof light. You know, power connectors through the roof so no cables coming in through doors etc. does any one know who does a magnetic pod connection system. I know the roof has to be drilled and tips on how to fit would be handy too.

Cheers

That type of sign is used on the Vito, you could contact one of the many cab conversion company's, they will tell you where to get one or sell you one

If you are going to drill the roof, just as well use your current light, and just feed the cable through the roof, below the light.

If it is the cable that is breaking that is annoying you - there are a couple of things to consider; Quality of roof light...many 'auction site' roof lights have very poor quality cable which is thin walled and weak. It makes production cheaper, but they fail quickly.

Others I have seen have actually drilled a hole through the door rubber and frame, and selaed afterwards to the door isn't clamped against the cable.

Drill a hole at the top of your door post where the front drivers and back passenger doors meet. Thread the cable down to the bottom near the sill and pull through. When you close the door you'll see the cable site between the two door shuts.
