Hmm, factory high top. You have found yourself an interesting T2. Where in the world are you based?
Click on the image below to enlarge it and see the dimensions in the diagrams. The picture is from a Dutch VW brochure which can be found in the literature section of this website: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/type2_2.php
Good luck with your project! |

Russia. I've found fully restored van with standard roof and roof from the other van. It's owner says that he is 180cm height and he can stand inside his van and have about 5cm space above. Maybe there is another versions of high roof exists? Here is the photo of the van which roof i'm going to purchase

Privet Montana87!
I found another brochure in the archives, apparently the same roof, but it gives a different dimension, although still not enough room to allow a gentleman of 180cm stature to stand upright…
Again click on the photo to enlarge and read the dimensions.
Are you getting the roof bows too or just the fibreglass? As you can see in the photo above, the factory style highroof uses unique roof bows that raise the height of the roof throughout the length of the vehicle and make it feel much more spacious, whilst retaining the strength of the monocoque shell. There’s quite a bit of work involved in converting a standard roof T2 to a factory style hightop.
Poka! |

Based on the design of the ribs in the fiberglass, I would say that the 1766mm version if correct.
The brochure showing 1680mm is also for the tall sliding door option, whereas your roof is for the standard sliding door.
