"Access from interior" means that when you put the pop top up
you can open the screen and easily access the box. As for
drag... I am SURE you are right, the guy who sold it to me
said no appreciable change in mileage. It may improve things
a bit if you also have stuff on your westy top as it may
smooth the airflow a bit. I realize the frontal area has
increased but it is REALLY areodynamic looking.

Thanks,
Chris
