Craig, I don't know about your top but mine will sit against the ladders gutter support. I have to pull my top toward the driver side or it will cut the rubber gasket.

Does your top do this? Anybody else?

I always have to lower the top where I can grab it and force the PH away from the ladder then climb back in to drop it to full down...kind of a hassle but the ladder is a must for me. I want to add a second ladder but not sure about the rubbing.

Your van looks great.
Dave.

The trip to Santee was uneventful, I left Ventura at 4:30 in the morning to beat the LA traffic and drove straight down stopping once to drop my old ladder off at Angels house and got down to Aluminess when they opened. Travis at Aluminess was very nice and gave me a quick tour of the shop with a few stories. They had me out of there in about 2 hours.

I didn't even think about the rubbing on the gasket. I just went out to check it and it is very close. I lifted the top up a bit and its close but does not bind the gasket. I suppose if I was off level to that side it may hit. I will keep my eye on that.
Thanks for the heads up.

I'm wide open for that weekend. The following weekend I'm going MTB riding in Gooseberry Mesa.
