Well Bill--I'd rather have the "rise" than the ditch any day---:>)

E-mail message from Bill�N

The earlier Vanagon Westys have the "ditch" but not the "rise."

TK writes;

I don't think so Russell---
I mean you can most sertainly chop a hole into your roof if you want,
but there is a definate" ditch" cut all the way around the hole to keep
the H20 from dropping in---
And at the side of that ditch is a rise that the seal fits on, to meet
the inside edge of the skylight.
I am not so sure would be wanting to cut a flush hole to fit a flat
aluminum framed skylight in my top-----
Later,

I have an 1980 Westy without the skylight too. It has a spot formed into
the fibreglass of the pop-up that I assume I could add an aftermarket
skylight to. My guess would be that it's an option.

When did they start putting skylights in the Westy, or was it an option?
