To prevent the curtains above the sliding door from getting dirty and to ensure that the sliding door does not take the curtain with it, Westfalia models are equipped with a plastic strip above the sliding door that prevents this.
This plastic strip is quite weak and tears quickly, which is why many Westfalia motorhomes are no longer equipped with it, and if it is still present, it must be replaced.
Note: This new strip is a reproduction of the original and is therefore just as vulnerable as the original, so it should be fitted with care.
