Title: Cole, a quick question on the "Pop Top" conversion (Conversion thread?)

How much height does the pop top conversion add?

Just trying to figure out if I need to lower my van a bit... I have underground parking at the condo right now, I have about 6'' of clearance.... or so lol

Fortunately I've got a Westfalia Weekender and an MV hardtop sitting right in front of me ;D (which won't be a hardtop for long  ;))

The difference of the highest point is ~3"

Using a long level on the roof to measure the high point.

MV measured at the B-pillar.

Weekender measured at the same spot.
