Subject:Can I Install Poptop in '85?? Help
From:William J. Taney
Date:Tue, 12 Apr 1994 19:35:08 -0500 (CDT)

Here is the deal, my buddy at the junk yard can get me an entire 
poptop assembly of a Westphalia off a totaled vehicle that they got for 
dirt,  dirt cheap. I have  an '85 Vanagon and am wondering if anyone has 
attempted to retro-fit one of these tops onto a non-converted Vanagon. 
While the top is from an '86 of the exact same body style, I am wondering 
whether the roof stampings are the same and whether I can just cut the 
holes and attach it or whether additional structural supports are needed 
and whether I need to take any additional hardware from the totaled 
vehicle besided the top and hinges..  Thank You for any advice you an can 
offer
