I have a roofrack originally installed on my old '67 split that I now use on my Vanagon. I measured the distance between the rain gutters on each side of the roof at the places where the rack sits. I put the rack on the garage floor and marked the distance that I needed to stretch the rack legs. I used the torch to heat up each leg and pulled it out half the distance on each side. The split 1/2 length rack looks great sitting on the roof of my Vanagon.

I have a Full length metal Roof rack with all 6 hold down clamps that was modified by PO to fit over Pop-top ( he cut out the center section of the rack so you have front and rear 1/3 roof storage areas) as this will not fit my '73 westy pop-top I am willing to let this go for $150...or best reasonable offer I'm located in Nashua NH, on the MA/NH border This will also fit Bay window Hard-top Busses as well as as splittie Hard-tops and sunroofs...
