Hi Everybody,
I am writing from Turkey. Almost more than 10 years I am interested in aircooled vw's. Now: I have more than 8 aircooled vehicles. I just start to produce westy roof production with high quality mould. If anybody interested with it I can share my experiences on that.

Hello,
A late style pop top on an early bay(hinges wrong way). Who makes a canvas and hold down strips for that bastard? The roof openings holes are different sizes... Maybe I'm missing something...
Yet, the workmanship on the top looks good. |

The horizontal lip around them at the bottom is not OEM, and would make using a seal impossible. If you made them without that lip, they would be better IMHO - or is that lip cut off before installing??? |
In this photos, you can see the after demoulding shape, not finished. Trimming the lips and assembling of hinges will be done. I just started |

Those look really nice! What is the material you are using? Fiberglass, ABS plastic, or something else? |

Nice dude! You make the molds yourself?? My friend and I are working on making a sandwich mold of the syro poptop. FYI we found quite a few places to source hinges and other pieces. Looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥 _________________ 1986 Westy Stock 2.1l
