rusty, it does take a little work to use the inside hatch with two people and a dog, but we make it work. How are you getting into the tent from the outside?
I use the Front Runner Spare Wheel Steprusty, it does take a little work to use the inside hatch with two people and a dog, but we make it work. How are you getting into the tent from the outside?
scotty, who makes that ladder and have you had any issues using it?
rusty, how stable is that with it just resting against the top?
I bought my Ura Minor top used, so didn't get to pick options. I always wished I had the Map Pockets I heard we're so useful. They are listed on UrsaMinorParts.com but have always been "sold out", but I lucked out and saw they were in stock over the weekend. I ordered them, easy install. Dropped the headliner, pulled all my patches off, found some fuzzy side velco to cover the hook side Velcro on the Map Packets, slid the onto the headliner, cut holes for the four corner bolts, screwed the headliner back in, and pulled off the fuzzy side Velcro. I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

Those are correct, I was a little confused at first too. The zipper is not attached to the backing, the backing creates the pocket that slides onto the headliner (like a pillow case, and is hidden when you re-install the headliner), the Velcro that affixes to the headliner closes off the fourth side. It is hard to slide into place because th hook Velcro catches on the headliner unless you have a long enough strip of loop Velcro to keep from getting hung up on the headliner. I wish I would have taken more pictures during the install, I didn’t take a picture of the roof side of the headliner.I'm in the same situation - got a UM top used which didn't have the map pockets. After I saw your post I ordered them and they arrive a couple of weeks ago. I just got around to trying to install them today but mine seem to not quite assembled correctly (?)
On mine the strip that has the velcro and the zipper is not sewn to the light-colored backing material. Was yours that way? The backing is sewn on the other 3 sides. I'm attaching a photo to try and illustrate. Both left and right map pockets are the same in this regard. Seems wrong to me, but maybe it is the way it is supposed to be?
Thanks
Bob
