Charlie,

The first thing you need to determine is what sort of poptop you have. It's
a good bet that you have a Country Homes
conversion if it's a US vehicle. I think they made the mosty aftermarket
poptops for Vanagons of that vintage.

This is their product:

ASC also made a poptop for Vanagons:

I fellow named named Jerry McCavitt who is on this List bought the CH
tooling and was offering "improved" rollers for the CH poptops.
You can probably reach him via email at mccavittj@yahoo.com.



Good Luck,
