A recessed roof panel 100 for a vehicle has a housing 101 with a basin 102 and a lip 104 at least partly surrounding basin 102. The housing is configured so that, in use, basin 102 extends towards an interior of a vehicle when lip 104 abuts an exterior surface of a vehicle roof. Panel 100 may comprise plastic and may be provided with a seal on lip 104. Panel 100 may also have connectors 106, reinforcement ribs, tie down members and a removable bar 114. Roof panel 100 may be removable, for example for maintenance or to be exchanged with a different roof panel module; in an embodiment spring clips may be used to bias lip 104 against the exterior surface of a vehicle.
