Has anyone replaced a high top with a pop top?
Thinking about ripping off the high top on my Autohomes Kameo
and fitting a Westy style pop top,
Is it possible or is it a nightmare and should i not even go there.
Thanks

Find any post from Jed the Spread and simply check out his web blogg.

He went from a pop top to a high top so perhaps if you throw some questions his way he may be pleased to help....

Thanks Fritz..

Have you spoken to LANCE on here?
He makes fibreglass roofs etc. I think he is also interested in old roofs as jigs?

maybe worth remembering tho that the westy s had a special roof pressing from the factory so the upper bed floor (if that makes sense) will need some bodgerey!!

Why would you want to do that? I have (once in the past) done it the other way round but the Karisma/Kameo hi-top is the only one I know of that considered 'aerodynamics' in the design. Sell it and get a pop top otherwise you risk devaluing the van. If you feel confident of a good job go ahead, could always sell the top if it's undamaged. When I did mine I was suprised at how heavy the pop top actually was.

Thanks for all your comments.. Decided to keep the roof as it is and maybe sell the van at a later date and look for a pop top model.
