(ask him) anyway, i helped him do it. the whole thing is pretty simple. the hardest part is having the guts to cut the initial hole in your roof, after that, everything goes like cake. never even used the westy roof sheetmetal. fyi, i have a complete westy poptop for sale, if anyone wants to do this. if you have any questions and would like to know the REAL answer, rather than speculated heresay from people who have never done the conversion themselves, feel free to call me, or im sure Karl would let you know anything you want, also. chris allentown, pa 610-395-2485 |
