anybody ever try to put a EV Westfalia top on a Vanagon? I was next to a buddie's EV weekender, I guess you'd call it, and that top looked like it might go onto a Vanagon. Those tops are a lot less protruding than a Vanagon Westie top...I never even noticed it WAS a pop top till I looked closely. If that kinda top could be adapted to my Tin Top I would be very interested, maybe I'd be able to dredge one out of a wrecking yard somewhere and stick it on for the headroom. I live and drive in such a windy place that the Westie top, with it's aerodynamic 'baggage', I'd be 'paying' for the added headroom of one every time I daily-drive. I've seen the list posts from others who've driven the Columbia River Gorge (where I live) and had issues with their Westies and the winds. 40+ mph is not considered especially windy and 70+ are frequent on a 'regular' day... With prevailing winds like these, you want your 'rig' to be as low profile as possible. I realize there'd probably be some adjustments needed to make the fit, but I was curious if anyone has found the rough dimensions to be workable for a possible Vanagon conversion. The EV Westfalia tops are very slick.
