Heavy Duty Top Frame Description: A Thing Shop exclusive! The best top frame available for your Thing. Made to the original factory specifications using factory blueprints, our frame is an improved product. We've seen the problems that the genuine top frames had and have corrected them by building our "Heavy Duty" frame from thicker gauge steel (1/3 thicker on the main side rails). We have also noticed the hinge points would sometimes bend, the rivet holes would elongate and they were a definite weak point. To correct this problem we made our hinges from thicker steel. Finally, we've reproduced the original header bow (identical shape to the original) with new improved steel that has the latest rust-resistant metal finish. You will have many years of service from this new top frame - it comes powder coated in black satin (semi-gloss as original) for a long lasting finish.

After hearing another Thing owner say the new top and frame is awesome, I ordered mine. Easy out of the box, easy installation, looks tremendous. I believe this is the only way to go if you are needing a new top for your VW Thing.

Saved me many hours of sanding, welding, straightening, painting, and re-covering the original top. From opening the box, finishing the job is about 15 minutes.
It’s a little expensive but you end up with heavier, better quality frame, new top, stainless latches, all the screws bathers and clips you’ll need.
