I am the original AVM distributor in the USA for several years and was the person to convince AVM to re-tool to make them again after ceasing production many years ago. I sell them and I am not as cheap as CC Equipment, but I did all the work to get them made again. I have never had a hub...

Kenny, I agree with you, I have a straight M1008 with all turn snaps and original bows and a brand new vinyl cargo cover from EMR and I can not make it attach good enough to zip the rear zippers even on a hot day. I opt for a camper cap over this setup soon as I can afford one. JT out
