Hi, Our poptop-is-up alarm! And if I'd saved the web site from where I got the idea, I'd include it here. It's a colorful stuffed ball. When the poptop is down, the ball lives stuffed between the "pipes". When the poptop is up, the ball lives in front of the instrument cluster. We expanded on the idea to create a fridge-vent-cover-is-on alarm. The Santa soft toy lives in the fridge if the fridge vent cover is on the van. He sits in the fridge vent cover, on the cabinet, when the fridge vent cover is not on the van. Simon adds, the long-neck oil filler funnel. And the $10 Wal-mart tire inflator (12V compressor), which we find useful for both the van and our bicycles.
