It works...for a while. Over time, the constant vibration and movement of the pop-top lifting H-bar while driving causes the rubber cap to wear through, allowing annoying rattles to develop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe figured it was time for a better solution.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOur redesigned bumper is molded from a vibration-reducing urethane compound for significantly improved durability. We also increased its size to better support the H-bar and reduce unwanted movement and rattling while you're on the road. Finally, we added an angled leading face that helps guide the H-bar into position as the top is lowered, making it easier to close the pop-top while reducing the chance of pinching your tent fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIt's a small part that makes a surprisingly noticeable difference every time you drive or raise and lower your pop-top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e All 1980-91 Westfalia Pop-Top Camper.
