It ain't easy, not by any stretch of the imagination. :-( I have a quote from a Vanagon specialist for doing the work ... he is well aware of the problems ... what I thought was a very expensive quote suddenly seems very reasonable indeed! In our neck of the woods, the cost of adding a poptop far outweighs the cost of a real Westy. Unless you are attached to your van, it makes more sense to sell it and but a real Westy instead. The price difference is not significant enough to make it worth doing the work. BTDT. BenT |
