I recently purchased an early generation Columbus tent with the green fabric and have a few questions.
1. Does the silver edge moulding that is on the upper clamshell half have any purpose other than show? My tent is missing one piece and I'm wondering if I can remove the rest without any adverse effects.
2. Is there a seal between the two clamshell halves that will prevent water intrusion while driving in the rain? Is there a need for a seal? Does the tent get wet from water wicking between the clamshell halves when driving in the rain?
3. Has anyone upgraded the rear clasp to a locking clasp? There doesn't seem to be very much security with the clasp that is currently riveted to the tent.
Thanks.
