The roof is high all the ways from the front of the van.

You mean a high pop-top??? :rofl - just kidding - I know what you mean!

If you take the high top off, you will be down to the gutter line. If I am correct, the pop-tops are cut out of the original tin top. So you would have to reinstate the tin top, and then add the pop top (Or get a scrapped pop top roof)

IMHO it would be far easier to sell your high top camper and buy a pop top one if that's what you really want, but I know we get a bit attached to our vans don't we?
