Hi............I'm not familiar with Reimo high tops from Germany,
but i'm very familiar with the Adventurewagen fiberglass top for
Vanagons........
which is a quite good set up actually............
more aerodynamically stable in cruise mode than a Westy - that pointy
rear end gives it a slight 'arrow' affect.
To me it's a good 15 % better than a Westy in that regard - rounder
edges too, not blown around quite so much by gusty side winds.....
the overall aero drag does not seem worse than a westy at all.
and they do not feel top heavy at all,
and they seem quite quiet inside driving too .

And.........sorry to get off there............
I tracked down the molds for these tops in Northern California.
they can be gotten.......then there is the entire matter of making the
things of course.
