Pop-Top Lift Assist (Basic Kit) [Vanagon]
| Product: | GW-V-POPTOP-LIFT |
|---|---|
| Works With: | 1980-1991 |
| Manufacturer: | GoWesty |
| Difficulty: |
Requires some hand & power tools and minimal mechanical knowledge. |
Proposition 65: This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
The original lifting gear for these tops included an internal spring assist, but many of these have lost their "oomph," and lifting even an unloaded top can be difficult.
For a number of years, GoWesty has provided load-assist kits to help raise the pop-top on heavily loaded Vanagon Westfalia camper tops. By popular request, we have created a simpler kit to gently assist the raising and lowering of unloaded or lightly loaded pop-tops. This design does not require drilling through the body, and features two gas-charged struts positioned at the rear hinge points. Popping your top has never felt so good, or been so easy!
Kit includes:
• (2) Gas struts - 40-pound (Light Load/Unloaded) or 100-pound (Heavy Load)
• (4) Mounting brackets
• Complete mounting hardware and instructions
