How hard is it to add a pop-up Westfailia top to a Vanagon not equipped with one originally?

Is there different bracing or structural reinforcement anywhere in "factory" Westys, or is it a simple matter (in concept, if not in execution) of cutting a big hole in the roof and bolting in the pop top?

Anybody BTDT?

Hi Cyclops, I havent transplanted a Westy roof, but I have done others, Devon etc, they have a small angle iron frame around the hole, the best way would be to remove the roof from the donor vehicle yourself and then take note how it was fitted and copy and swap everything over. I have also cut a few holes in t25 and t4s and you should leave the roof strenthening bars in place on them. Hope this helps, Tam.

No-one ever reads this bit anyway!
