 My main point is that to make it work right, it seems to me that you have to
 remove the entire roof, cut the whole reinforced side sections from the
 Westy, then pop-rivet or weld onto your roof. Anything else is a half-a-- job
 IMHO.

not necessary.   if you have more questions, i think karl put it all in some
sort of downloadable file or something??  (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.
