I purchased the oem german one from bus d it is a bit snug for my liking
but seems to be good 2 yrs in. The side window zippers are a bit small in
size so use caution. The tag on it says vw bus shop.

I would avoid any tent that says it is OE made in Germany.  I got a couple
of these to install this spring.  I have installed over 10 pop top tents
over the years.  The German ones were both too tight while the aftermarket
US made ones were cheaper and easier to install since they allowed for a
slightly looser fit.  It is still taught just not super tight.

Another thing to think about is who is going to install it and where.  It
is not the easiest thing to do and have it turn out nice.  If you are
thinking about doing it yourself I would plan on doing it in the cooler
months.  It gets really hot up there.
