Ah.. I was just in South Keys for a week right before the celebrity golf thing.

So there are no issues with the top. No leakes, tears, rips, bent tubes?

Here's some photos. My better half has talked me into to moving sooner than latter, so for all that are interested, shoot me a message. Still thinking $1000 and you will have to pick it up in North Lake Tahoe.

Just a reminder that this probably will only fit a EB van, and note the indentation in the front where the top closes flush with the roof over the cab area. Not sure if that is normal or not.

I'm not quite sure how it will disassemble, so there may need to be some fabrication done on re-installation. I'd even entertain the idea of whoever wants to buy it to come down and help take it off so they have an idea of how to put it back on another van.

Several people had PM'd me about this, but now that you can see more detail in the pictures, shoot me another message if you are still interested.

Nice pics. Thanks for that. Its too bad GTRV doesn't do these anymore. I asked.

It does look to me like there is an entire front to back, side to side, roof skin as part of the whole assembly. ?

Somebody might to inquire at GTRV about what it takes or what will happen with removal of a T-Top. Just sayin

Not sure what you mean by skin. The roof is just fiberglass with a black gasket around the edge.

Yep. That’s what I was wanting to know. My assumptions were correct.

So when removing the top , that Fiberglas hat or skin or brim or whatever it wants to be called will have to be addressed . It may be part of the lift mechanism. Maybe it’s glued down first.

It’s all good fir me. I found out what I needed. Interesting design they had going there.

Thanks again for the pics. I contacted GTRV and they do not use that style anymore. I have a Chevy. They still have the rear hinged version fir it but not the Fords.

Good luck with the high top adventure. I’m leaning that way myself

Regis did you call Sebastopol or BC? Sebastopol was supposed to call me back last week but now they’re MIA.

Browsed their site. Sent an email.
I’m thinking the BC facility is closed up . Work is done in Sebastopol only

Yes still interested but wondering about that front section. It seams to be a fiberglassed transition? Can you specify, maybe close up pics! I do not know if you decided on a top to replace yours but I have new tops.

Someone should contact GTRV and ask about install/removal .
It can't be that bad. They might have used butyl tape or something along the perimeter to glue it down. That might be able to be cut off or something and reflash any gaps.
