[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 367460, member: 7956"] If you are talking pop top they are all easy, you just release the holding catches and lift the roof up. Older ones had spring assisted scissor lift mechanism, modern ones have gas struts, so they should really all be simple to lift. Mine has the old scissor lifts, now it's getting a few panels on the roof it's sagging a bit, so I got some gas struts to assist with the extra weight. If you are a really lazy bugger you can get air lifters, I haven't looked into these as it's really only for decrepit fossils or someone with bad back injuries etc. The good thing about pop tops is you can get really good ventilation. Solid vans can get bloody hot in the same conditions that a pop top will be comfortable in. Also consider your vehicles tow capacity. Can't help with different models, perhaps look at a van forum.
