Yes, and I am considering just that approach though I have no fiberglass skills myself. Not nearly as good as a fresh top would be so maybe modifying a Westy top to then make a mold from might be a way to go. I want a solution that would work as a replacement for a Westy top as well as for easily converting a passenger roof to a Camper. I don't think there are too many people willing to pony up the big bucks for one of these but a couple dozen of us perhaps would. Mark
