Thanks for your responses, Im going to try order a replacement hinge and make the repair by removing the struts.

I can give it a shot. The reason I might just reposition the hinge is that the problem is that the previous owner did a fibreglass repair where the current hinge is which is now crumbling. The difference in thickness of that area also causes the roof to not sit straight. I was under the impression t...

I have a side elevating pop top and I need to replace one of the hinges . Is it possible to do this without removing the gas struts?

Any thoughts on why theres no choke in there also whilst Im here?

I'm now intrigued by the engine of this vw... the only history i know is that it used to a be a dutch police van be fore it was converted.
