1977 Volkswagen Westy Tack Strip
07. All Bay Window tents are attached to the pop-top with tack strips and staples. You can easily remove the tack strips with a screwdriver for example. As a side note, had the old tent still been in decent shape (i.e., if we hadn't taken it off earlier), we could have removed the tack strips while the top was upside down, as seen in picture number 14. Then we could have laid out the old tent on the ground, and laid the new tent on top to make sure the new tent was the correct type and size.
