Subject:Re: will a poptop fit inside a GL?

My van was a standard passanger van (with a sunroof) before the top was
crudely added (therefore killing the much cooler sunroof!). No cutting was
done, and the fiberglass top seems to fit the curves of the bus top pretty
well....so i would think it could be transported pending proper attachment
with glue and rubber bands (or bungee chords, bailing twine, and alot of
trust). I dont know if it would fit inside though.
