When we rebuilt the pop top on our Shadow Cruiser we used the front corners that were unrotted to measure from.
That gave us the width and depth of the skirt and we used our judgement to make the overhang the same on the back.
The major problem we had was dealing with the preload on the torsion bars for the lift system.
Good Luck, Mike
I don't see any spring assist on this system, maybe those are missing or enclosed within the lifting bars. There is a long strip of plastic gears across the front of the bed and I use a hand crank to lower and raise the roof.
I assume by the preload on your camper you mean the roof is best raised and lowered if it is the proper weight. Hopefully Hallmark will give me those specs but they haven't returned my email, I also have a call into their svc department.
