Thinking about putting a hinge on the front and making my 109 safari into a pop top. Like a dormobile but so it lifts from the front rather than the side.
Just wandering if it's doable with some gas struts a hinge and some canvas.
Cheers

i would of thought have the anchor pins at the front ie your hinges and the struts on the back, have you ever removed gas struts from a hatch back car and then tried to lift the boot lid its feckin heavy, i dont think there would be an issue with weight on a safari top
I've removed a 109 tropical roof with sides attached and at a guess, I'd say they weigh about 30Kg ish?? if yu do it move the struts to the middle and have some sort of locking struts. AKA defender bonnet stays, to keep it up in the wind.
