How do I >fix it? _Jeanne Me too. The pop top on my 1984 is a very heavy lift, pretty much a fight all the way. I have only had my Vanagon 9 months and it has been a hard lift from the get- go. Maybe it isn't 'sposed to be that way. I know my 1971 Willfailya's pop top is much easier to put up. I hope David can shed some light on this. He is usually "right on" with information about other items concerning our Vanagons. _Ron Bloomquist |
