Subject: California Camper Tops Vs. VW Camper tops

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of adding a pop top to my 88 Wolfsburg Automatic.

Two options come to mind the California Camper top and the standard VW
Pop top.

Can anyone give me feedback as far as the space up top, is one roomier
than the other?

Does one have a greater headroom when opened?

Can you stand up within the center space of the van with California top?

How hard is it to install the California vs. the VW top?

What will last longer over time?

If I installed the California vs. the VW Pop top will there be a
weight difference and aerodynamic effect on the van's performance
other than the weight?

Thanks for in advance for the feedback.
