Good Morning Ken et al,

Thanks to everyone for their comments on the tight tent.  Fortunately,
the Syncro is an '87, so no stapling to tack strips.  I would say this
wasn't a particularly difficult job, but very tedious.  I can certainly
see how one could get into big trouble if you tried to hurry through it.

My tent fits very nicely, seams line up at the corners properly etc...
it just seems very tight.  It pulled one of the aluminum strips free of
the Vanagon roof, but at a point where the hole was elongated and the
screw didn't have a very good bite.  I saw a couple of suggestions to
get it wet, so we'll wet it and leave it up for a few days.

*Best Regards,
Jon*
