Tent was pretty straightforward to install, has a bit of stretch making the tent nice and taut. Overall satisfied with quality, install, and look.

I just replaced my original Vanagon tent with the GoWesty Pop-Top Tent. The three windows will be a game changer for those hot summer nights. Even if my original tent wasn't in such rough shape I think it would be worth the cost and work involved in putting the new tent on for the additional ventilation. The tent looks great and seems very well made, much like everything else I've purchased from GoWesty. I replaced the tent without taking the top off but in retrospect, it would have been much easier if I'd gotten help to take off the top. Thanks!

This was a long job in the heat of the summer but well worth it

Fit perfect, installed easy and looks great! My project was a lot of work as I had to sand the fiberglass and paint and was dreading putting the tent on but it was such a relief how easy this was to install

So glad for the instruction video with tips on installing. Great quality cotton canvas. Once installed it looks awesome and we love the 2 extra screens that the original one didn’t have.
Thanks

Boy! It sure is nice to have a functional pop-top on my 87 Westy, again. Will at VW Autowerks in Medford, Oregon had mentioned he just installed one of Go Westy 's pop-tops on his Westy & with Miles's( of No Name Garage in Eugene) recommendation to use Will's shop, I took a chance on my way back to Berkeley from British Columbia, & had Will install one. I'm a happier camper now & was delighted that Go Westy, indeed, got me the pop-top overnight, into the bargain.

PERFECT product! I restore these vans for a living. I've replaced over 20 tents. They've always been excellent.

Great fitting very original looking tent. Great Product!

I don't know if it was just a QC issue but my zippers are on the outside which is super inconvenient and low key makes no sense. I thought about reaching out for new one because it makes the window screens virtually useless as zipping the canvass down is logistical quite difficult. The canvass seems okay but I do not have much time with it installed to review longevity. Color is nice ... would rate higher but the zipper on the outside is a super bust because you cannot star gaze or get fresh air easily. I still support GoWesty tho and I am happy they keep buses on the road.

I have not installed this yet I will be doing this when the rain Stop
but generally, I don’t know what all of us Vanagon it nuts would do without Gowesty when I purchase a product from you guys I know it’s been engineered to the best that it possibly can be and I appreciate Chris and Clarence who answer the phone often and her patient enough to find out answers to my questions. Always appreciate what you’re doing. Happy holidays thank you very

Ok

Perfect fit looks killer

This tent could not have fit better - I had no issues with the fabric bunching anywhere, nor did I have any issues with areas of fabric being too tight and potentially rip. And I can't say enough about having three windows in the tent. That is how it should have been from the factory and it is well-implemented in this design.

The tent fit perfectly, installed exactly as the gowesty video explained and is a solid improvement over the stock tent. Ditto on the lift assist.

Great fit and price, feels and looks well made, and the added vents and screens are awesome!

Better then orig

Better then orig

This thing fit great and works so well

Looks good and seems like it will last a while.
It's was not fun to install. The tent seemed a little on the short side but I was able to make it work. Adjustable h-bar brackets are a must with this tent.

It arrived on time, in good condition and the price was right. So, how much more can one expect?
One satisfied customer.

Zippers difficult to work. Cotton not the best quality.

I am very happy with this top. I'm diggin' the three windows.

The color is not gray

I had GoWesty install the acrylic 3-window pop top tent in early 2008, and I've had zero issues with it (as of July 2023). The fabric, screen material, stitching, and zippers have held up well (no issues). Very happy with it!

I am really happy with my new tent - a huge functional and aesthetic upgrade. Yeah, installation is hard - plan on a full day and be happy if its less. I definitely recommend removing the roof - its not that big of a deal with 2-3 people. The fit seems very good to me, the zippers and screens are good quality. Its been on my van for about two years now and holding up well.

The good: The tent material is nice. The window screen material seems nicer and softer than the OEM product. The OEM product and some competitor windows are made with a stiffer material. Also, the window screen material has a tighter weave, that may keep out smaller bugs, while the OEM and competitor screens have larger holes.

The bad: The tent is really difficult to install, especially to the fiberglass roof. The material tolerances are so tight, I don't know how you would install this with the roof attached to your van. I recommend taking off the roof for the install.

WARNING: You should not completely follow the video linked in this product. The video is old and has been PARTIALLY superseded by new instructions. For example, when connecting the bead of the tent to the fiberglass roof, you should follow the written instructions provided in the PDF tab. The written instructions direct you to install the tent bead WITHIN the aluminum channel. You SHOULD NOT follow the video explanation that guides you to have the tent bead installed outside of the aluminum channel. This update is not clearly explained in either the written instructions or the video. If you follow the video, you will end up with a ripped tent (ask me how I know this). This tent is hard to install, even when following the correct instructions.

Install tips: You need to the following equipment: Bendable screwdriver shaft; straight awl; curved awl; small magnetic tray; saw horses. When attaching the tent to the metal roof, you need to keep the roof propped partially open (almost fully open). I used one of the saw horses to keep the roof propped up. I found the stick or pole method to keep the roof up dangerous and the stick is prone to slipping. I would not want to be under the roof if the prop stick slipped and the roof fell while in the top bunk area.
