I use an 8x10 poly tarp (green is nicer than blue) with bungee cord to poptop hinge, adjustable strap across windshield to lefthand metal post behind lower grille, bungee across top to far side of luggage rack. Adjustable tent poles with guys in line with the diagonal corners of the tarp. The cross-bungee pulls it up against the side of the tent to keep rain out. Poles raised and lowered as indicated for sun, rain etc. david David Beierl - Providence, RI '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
