Sorry bout that!  A tilt is a canopy that goes on the back of a Double or
single cab truck.  Usually the whole assembly is called a tilt, w/ the metal
support frame called hoops, & the top support slats that connect the hoops
called bows. In older tilts, there are also end caps that go over the top of
the bows at the hoops to keep the canvas from rubbing on the bows.

FWIW,

Tom-like I said, these parts are pretty obscure-some people think they are
for "covered wagons" & don't know that vw even  made these trucks or that
they had the tilt option.
