I've been looking at a pop top at a local yard wondering if it could be
installed on me Vanagon ('86).  First prob is the luggage rack (missing).
If I didn't find a rack pronto I guess I'd have to jury rig a wind deflector
and search avidly.

Bigger problem?  I'm wondering if a person could simply cut a rectangle with
rounded corners in btwn the first two roof ribs aft of the cockpit and
finish it off with some soft rubber molding.  The headliner/interior ceiling
(around the rectangle) could be finished with wood, could it not?

I'm thinking a level sleeping surface could be built by simply adding a
couple of 2x4's on edge spanned with a sheet of 1" plywood.  I've already
harvested the two foam pads from a Westy, so there.

The new top bunk access wouldn't be large but I think my children would love
it . . . until they're my size.

Seems to me I could have a Westy pop top, installed, for under a grand.  No?
