Bill have you looked into retro-fitting a pop top to your 7 passenger van.
So these kits for sale on the web somewhere earlier this year.  Thought
about it for my 90 carat (would like a pop-top myself) but not sure how to
deal with the air conditioning conduit that runs up the center of the roof.

Instead I am just looking for a van with the pop-up table, rear jump seats
and the pop-up roof (think it is still referred to as a weekender.)

Good Luck
Joe
