Thanks for the insight. I would love to get my hands on a 240 Express and I would probably kill for a 240 ambulance ;^) but I doubt any of that would be reasonably possible unless I lived in northern Europe. I just had a thought that might make chopping up the roof less of an issue. What about using the stock sunroof as the access point. It would probably require the topper to be moved forward more, but might work. I don't have a sun roof, so it's hard to visualize if that would be big enough for access. I'm also failing to recall what the vanagon access hole looked like (and how big it is). -time to search the internet for pictures...

I've also thought about installing it backwards, making access slightly easier from the hatch, but then again, I believe the back end of the wagon roof was reinforced for rear-end collisions (I read some post on BB about the third row seat and rear-end collisions). Also another thought comes to mind... maybe the roof would need to be reinforced anyway to support 2 people and the topper?
