Well....

The former owner of my Westy hauled hang gliders. Loading and
unloading managed to crack the fiberglas in four places around where
the skylight would go if it were a later top.  We have been totally
unsuccessful in repairing the damage. We have been totally
unsuccessful in sealing the leaks. For me, a ladder would be a cheap
investment. Even a $500 ladder!

YMMV of course.
