Hi,

The 87 Westfalia I recently purchased made this rattling sound from the
push up frame from the pop up top.

Upon closer inspection and comparing to another Westfalia I noticed that
I was missing the black protective caps (sleeves?) that fit over the
piece of metal at the elbows of the metal push up frame.

Replacement caps I could not get so I bought a piece .5" diameter clear
flexible tubing (.125" thickness wall). I heated it with an hairdryer
and a piece of roughly 1" length tubing slipped right on.

End of rattling.

Cost .25c, Canadian cents that is and lots left over since I had to buy
a minimum length of 1 foot.

Bye,
