Ok, first off i finally got one of my dream cars, she's a 1980 brat in really nice condition.

 

Blue interior "very clean" with the woodgrain dash! have been looking for so long to get one of these but either had no cash or just didn't hear about one soon enough.

 

Car is in overal good condition, Motor runs great but tranny STUCK! in first gear, Going to put in a 5-speed d/r anyway.

 

Best part of all is what i paid for it........................................................................$0.00

 

Absolutly nothing!

 

Anyway after i got the car i found what looked like some sort of canopy cover, after pulling it out i noticed that neat little subaru logo wich is a tag that is sewn into the border.

 

After pulling it out i noticed it had little snaps on it that fit the canopy perfect!, wasn't till after i got it put on as to what is acculy was.

 

It's like a little tent!, has a velcro flap that covers over a bug screen that has a zipper to open and close it.

 

Im guessing it's a factory accessory but i havn't ever heard of it, could'nt find anything in the sales brocures on the main page either.

 

Anyone here ever seen these things?, was also a price tag still on it that said $300.00.

 

I was a bit exited to say the least, i think it's frickin cool!

 

My canopy doesn't have the strong arms to hold up the back window so the tent isn't sitting up all the way, Also the tent deal thingy mathces the interior vynal perfect!

Ultimate Subaru Home Page

 

The Brat Page

Yeh not a problem, you can post whatever you want, i'll hurry up and get a pic with the tent all set up.

 

Was going to do that today but got busy changing brocken motor mounts and turbo gaskets, Had alittle to much fun at a club ralley a few days ago!

 

So has anybody heard of this tent thing?, any options brochures that anybody knows about?

 

~CHIM~

wow. i want to design something like that for my wagon but the hatch is going to make it interesting. hurry up with those pictures!

ok, here are some pics of it suspended all the way out, only had a short stick to hold it up so there are some wrincles in it.

 

So, has anyone seen these things?, Factory or not?

Dredging up this old thread as it was the first thing that came up when I search "Subaru Brat Tent".  Alas, none of the pics are coming through nor any of the links pointing me to a relevant thread.  

 

Anyone have any pics of this thing?

 

Anyone find a current truck bed tent that can be adapted to the Brat bed? 

Thought I'd re-ping this thread.  Anyone ever come up with a tent solution for the Brat?  I'm assuming the one from Kodiak Canvas, even their shortest one, would be too big.
