Our `87  Westy Syncro's top bunk hinge is rubbing the inside of the top
enough to gouge  the top.  This is happening with the top down and the bed stowed.
 The offending piece is part of the hinge for the bed.  When the bed is
stowed for travel it is pushed to the rear as far as it will go, but it shifts
forward and comes in contact with the top.
Is anyone else having this issue  and/or does anyone have a solution for it?








Mark,  yes & yes !  I cut a small piece of rubber, from an inner tube or such
 and glued it on the pop top where the hinge is rubbing.
