    Hello everyone,

    I am desperately trying to find help on my VW Crafter 2015 High Roof LWB.. I need to replace the outside roof body panel (the curved section that sits over the cab as see in image below)

    When I rang up VW, they said the part costs £477 (which is a lot more than I am willing to pay).
    I then decided to ring up Mercedes Benz and gave them a registration number of a MB Sprinter that looks identical to my Crafter... they quoted me a price of £204 for the same part.. Which is a much more acceptable price.

    My question is, will the part 100% fit?

    The shape of the part looks identical, as per below:

    The VW Part # is: 2E1817104B and displayed in the image & link below (number 3):

    The MB Sprinter part # is: A9066570109 and displayed in the image & link below (number 10):
    MB Sprinter Roof link

    Please Please can someone help me and tell me if I can buy this body panel for my VW Crafter? Or if its not 100% right, can it be modified to fit?

    Many thanks
    Nicky

    Thanks for the reply Dean. That's what I was thinking but I need to know if it will 100% definitely fit my Crafter... Therefore I am looking for someone to reply and be 100% certain about it. I don't want to buy the part and find out that it doesn't fit.
