Well.. I'm jealous! I'd love to find a good poptop solution.

Well the Top Is Done and it looks and works great still needs to be painted but its in. The bad part is some how I changed the sizing on my camera and i dont know how to change it so I cant load anything until my wife returns from her trip to California on Sat. I can rebuild my Van but I cant re size my camera!

Looks awesome!!! On a 1-10, how hard was the install? I am beginning to like those kinds of tops more and more!

I would say about a 4. Cutting the hole was the easy part for sure. Then there is the making of the latching system triming the VW top to sit on the ford roof. I went a little over board with the reinforcing of the roof and I would say it is 50% stronger with the hole in it.
Its alot of little stuff you have to do.

Thanks!! I have seen a couple of VW's with tops over at the wrecking yard while looking for Ford's. I might have to go back and take a second look!

make sure they are straight and you get all the parts.
