Hello, I am new to the list, I only discovered it last week and have been lurking since then. I've got a '72 Bus with the Westy pop-top. The question I have is will a '78 Westy top fit onto my '72 bus. The top I have is in very ragged condition, the fiberglass is very rough and the canvas top is in shredds. I was at a junk yard the other day and they had a receint arrival of a '78 camper. The top was in great shape and I could get quite a deal on both the fiberglass hard top and the canvas. I know they pop up in opposite directions, but if I just flip it around will it bolt right on? Is this going to too much trouble? Would it be simpler to just purchase a canvas top, install it myself and repaint the fiberglass? Does anyone know where I can buy the canvas top? How much do they cost and how easy are they to install? On both the tops the rubber seal is shot, where can I find one of these and how much do they cost? I guess I need a really good catalogue of Volkswagen parts, any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Howard
