I agree, swapped the '85 plastic lid into the louder '81 as the '81 
is a camper and the '85 lid is MUCH better at noise supression plus 
so much lighter it's simply amazing when you want to haul it out of 
there.  As to longetivity, hell how much weight to you put on that 
extreme rear portion when sleeping anyway, I don't imagine any 
problems.
