Funny thing, the squared off front on that canvas is very much like the OEM ones from 91 and maybe 90. I like the perimeter zipper better too, but they apparently changed the design at the end of the run so the screen could be removable. And I agree, it is nice, but not up to the level of original Westfalia quality IMO. --- On Sun, 6/19/11, Karl Mullendore <tdiguru@WESTYVENTURES.COM> wrote: > From: Karl Mullendore <tdiguru@WESTYVENTURES.COM> > I just installed one of these last week.

The material looks like better quality, it has a perimeter zipper in front, it costs a little bit more and the fit is a little loose (they say they do it on purpose, so maybe it can be made tighter)
