I believe that I have the original cover still on my 84 & it is in
good shape.  Granted it is on the north side of my camper!!!!  so it
doesn't get as much sun as yours, but I wonder if you have an
aftermarket one that is a piece of kaka? I know that the list vendors
sell new ones, not sure if they are oem or not.

Tom B.- Jim T. told me to not leave it in place as it would fall off,
but at 106K is till there! (I hope!)
