Anyone got experience doing it? The 2nd hand roof (westy pop top) i'm going to fit to my van had a couple and cracks and a small hole where the lift frae used to be.

Thanks

You do know that VW made a special roof to take the westy pop top?
It's not the same as a panel van roof.

Hi Kev,

I do know that - flat vs curved right? There seems to be a number of people on here who've fitted a westy pop top to a panel van or a camper that had a previous pop top so it should be possible. I hope!
