I have heard of them and they've been discussed here before but I had forgotten. May be a good option for us on the east side of the nation. Have you priced anything with them? I might give them a call this week. I might go for a top for my Chevy. I'm undecided.

Cyclevan uses a lot of tops from FGME aka fiberglass molding and engineering in Thomasville NC both have been around for quite a while I’ve spoke with FGME about making tops for me in the past. If Cyclevan is to expensive reach out to FGME you should be able to get a top for a pretty decent price.

Bumping this because these guys are local to me, considering using them to install my high roof. I've added the 2019 pricing and brochure if anyone is interested.

I recently viewed a forum members van with tuff ports high top which I like a lot... what I didn’t like was the install. It wasn’t very good, actually amateur at best. I was very surprised to see such poor work.

Like I said I love there tops but the work wasn’t good, top was leaking screw heads over torqued & broken off & they did this weird deal where they bent about 6” of the top up on the inside of the van, which means you could access the interior seam. I’ve installed hundreds of fixed tops & never saw this style of install.

I’d reach out to forum member maxwiser about his install, if I were you I do it yourself you’ll be better off. Oh did I say I love the high top

We did one of their tops on a chev express, very nice top with a reverse flange. The ford on the other hand is not, once you’ve installed with a reverse flange it’s hard to go back.
We have used Fiberine as well, they have nice tops.
