I think Auto sleeper pop tops look really cool.

I believe Leisure drive did a thin pop top... but I might be mistaking the T4 one

Autohomes pop tops might look cool, but driving into a headwind with a 1.6NA diesel wasn't fun.

So I replaced it with a slicker home brew, shed 70kg, went 5MPH faster, handled better and saved 7% of my fuel bills.

I May be able to 'out skinny' your pop top with this trakka one. (the black thing is a large Solar panel attached to the pop lid with about 5 cm of clearance)

Its Australian, a company called Trakka are the conversion company. I bought it 4 years ago i think, it'd been imported by south west splits in 2007. Great inside, but I've not been in many other t25 campers. Not seen a lid like it yet though!
