Position of pop top hole in roof ??

Post by Oilline »

My van at some time in its life must of had a high top or a pop top fitted as there is a large cut out in the roof that has had a plate crudely welded
over it. I would like a pop top and was wondering if the hole in my roof is the correct size and in the correct position for a Westy pop top.
Does anybody know the dimensions for the position of the pop top hole, or access to a template on the internet somewhere?

Scroll down to "Volkswagen Westfalia T25 / T3 / Vanagon Camper Elevating Roof Downloads)

It hasn't got the exact dimensions but will give you an idea.

The size that Reimo use is 1100 front to back & 1040 across with 80mm radius corners. It is positioned centrally between the B post and C post ridges across the roof.

I fitted a westy pop top to a tintop and cut the hole myself. It's as small as I could get away with still has loads of standing room over the sink / cooker and easy to get into the roof. I didn't cut any of the reinforced roof sections. Let me know if you want measurements I'll happily get them when next at the van.
