My 81 westy has little black nibs with rings on the curtain.......  I'm
second owner and sure it's stock. Dan.

My 82 Westy has the same setup as 84 Westy, black plastic nibs for a
loose curtain.  Mark.

okay, i got a few responses, enough to make a conclusion..  i think
Westfalia did a mid-year change in '81, going from the aluminum rod to the loose
curtain with loops and nibs for the slider door curtain..   why?  so people with
81.5 - 84 westys could lose/misplace their curtains perhaps?  dunno.

anyway, so...
'80-early 81 westy = curtains slide on aluminum curtain rod
mid '81 westy to 84 westy  = loose curtain with loops and nibs
85-91 westy =curtains slide in aluminum track with plastic gliders

just some more wacky trivia for y'all.
