Thats crazy! Remove the pop top off the other van, cut a hole in the roof of yours that matches the hole in the original pop top roof (its only about 4'x5'). Care must be taken to push all the wiring over to the side before cutting the new hole. The hole needs to be finished

with some sort of trim (sharp edges). Then mount the new top. I had this done on my van.....no welding required. I am obvioulsy skipping some steps but you get the idea....

What about the other areas that are cut out in the factory jobs, I've seen aftermarket conversions where they only cut out the sunroof area and they looked ok.
