Can the EB pop top fit a RB van? If so, I'm local to you and would be interested in chatting.

What about looking at towing a small offroad trailer with a rack for the boards and gear?

It's been done before..at least twice. Requires fiberglass work and lots of calculating and stress.....to determine where to cut the hole in the roof.


Justgosurfing is doing one now.


My recommendation is wait for an RB top. They are hard enough to install when they are the correct model.

...not to discourage your desire to swap roofs....but if you are interested in adjusting your PH springs to make the top go up easier let me know. I'm in OC.

Penthouse for sale/ changing to hard top

I am thinking about doing the same with my sports mobile.
Just wondering if you have received any quotes for the change? Just wondering what it might cost if you would like yo share.


Thanks

Chris I PM.d you two days ago and have not heard a response regarding your top. I stated I can help you remove it and even help you install the Fiberine if you care to. I am ready to purchase your top if you are serious.I sold 5 tops on here although I did not install any because they were to go on uncut vans, yours is already cut so the right screws and mastik and you will be good to go. If you go with the inner shell you may be able to have that installed after the to. I do not think they are one piece but rather two shells which may make you more top heavy on corners? Not sure!
In both of my PM's in the past few days I gave you you two contact numbers.

Hey Chris I do not know if my PM'S are getting thru because I cannot see them on myPM list so I assume they are not getting out for some reason. Please call 951 906-3679.
