Hi Guys:

I got my poptop seals from the Busdepot this week.

My impression is that they are very high quality. Better than I thought they'd be.

I got the full set - 3 pieces, a wide flat piece for the front of the raised portion, a long piece for the 3 sides of the raised portion, and a piece for the front of the luggage rack.

Installation was not a "piece of cake" - not because it required skill or knowledge, but because they grip so tightly they have to be rapped on with a mallet to get seated all the way down. At least, on my top that was the best way to do it.

It took some effort, about an hour.

I guess that's good. They're NEVER GOING TO FALL OFF.

Tomorrow, I'm going to put black silicone on the junctions of the 2 poptop pieces to join them.

After that, I think I have 19 or 20 Westy projects left to do. I've got this big list.

There's no resting when you own a Vanagon. That is, if you care about it.
