It is OEM. It has the late style front window, originally found on late 1990
thru 1991 Westies. Westfalia considered it an improvement. Both sides of the
front window flap can be partially lowered evenly, and the flap can be
removed and replaced (for example if you catch it in the poptop latch and
damage it), whereas on the earlier style it is permanently sewn in. Some
people prefer the earflier style, some prefer the later.
