Does anyone manufacture these in the USA? I've seen new hinge sets for Bay Window buses, but not for Split Window buses?
Thanks |

The SO42/SO44 square poptop doesn't have any hinges that I can think of. 
Unless you're talking about the Dormobile top and those are available directly from Dormobile.
Or are you talking about the "X" braces that hold the poptop up? AFAIK those are not available aftermarket.
Do you have a picture of what you're talking about? |

Yes, a very good friend in the Phoenix region went to the mega pain-in-the-ass trouble to pretty much flawlessly reproduce all three "X" braces (no hinges on them at all) aftermarket a few years back to go along with a limited run (about twenty) of newly moulded fiberglas SO-42/44 pop top roofs that someone else reproduced. I'm pretty sure they sold 'em all a few years back. Good luck in your hunt...
