    Will a hardtop fit in a van?

    Looking to pick up a hardtop, but no-one will rent me a pickup since i'm under 25. Does anyone know if they'll fit in an e-series ford van?

    Not sure, but you could measure your soft top and and a few inches to see if its close.

      i honestly think it would fit in a full size van. you may have to turn it diagonal to get it in the back doors. bring some old blankets and pillows if the vinyl is in good shape. if it sits against anything with a sharp edge, it will probably get messed up.

        if it was an empty work van with no seats i bet it would fit with it at an angle.

          Why not just take the vert and use that to transport it?

              One big bump while it sits sideways might crack the glass

                well, maybe.....i have a hardtop on my tech 2. i find the glass to be really sturdy. just don't set it in the van so the glass is touching anything that could put pressure on it and i think you should be ok here.

                  Yeah, verts were like, meant to transport hardtops…

                    Thanks guys

                    I actually don't have a vert I just found a super cheap hardtop id like to resell if my friend doesn't need it.

                    If anyone has a quick measurement of the widest point I'd appreciate it!

                      the one on kijiji out of Montreal?

                      I was considering getting that myself to flip it, or keep but meh.

                      I think it'd be hard to sell around our area unless looking to ship
