Hi all.

I’m possibly looking at swapping my hightop roof for a westy roof, I know there is enough metal at the front of the roof and also the rear.
But how much metal on the sides will I need for the gas struts to anchor to and the brackets for the back of the poptop?
Just wondering if anyone has done this or has a westy roof and can let me know how much I would need?

I have researched and found out about the cut at the front and that I would need to make a new roof skin, but just can’t find info on the sides

Thank you

I put a Westy pop top on my factory standard tin top. Had several folk tell me it couldn't be done and the Westy's had a different roof skin fitted and I'd have to graft a full Westy metal roof onto my van and loads more stuff - that all turned out to be wrong. 4 years I think since I did it and it's never had any issues. I put some photos of the installation in a thread in here so i'll try and find a link. Let me know if you want any measurements taking.

Westy roof H bar stands on a lip just inwards from the upper longitudinal structural brace. you need to fabricate something there if there is not enough roof skin there.

I’m looking to do the same, factory high top to Westy pop top
