Looking to purchase a split window, this Brazil example caught my eye for sale on this site. Can anyone lend info on the pop up top. Original, after market added?

Someone did that, probably to make it into a sales vehicle for food or something similar.

I seriously doubt that seals out water, in case that is a concern in your area.

Steer clear of that little gem. The ad claims "no under rust", but there are big rust bubbles erupting under the fresh paint the entire width of the nose! I'll bet there are no belly pans and the top is held up using two supports. Also, no interior or underneath pics which is a huge red flag.
