I see them on Yahoo.jp fairly often. Always thought they were original options.

Only some aftermarket ones on the auction today.
Available in the colour of your choice, I suppose... http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f111189288

I was going to suggest the same thing... wondering where to attach it at the rear though.

I used a pair of large 4" magnets that you can buy for cleaning the glass on aquariums and fish tanks, works a treat!

here's our first one, damaged tent cover, small length of Bungee....

2198

next one will be as the ads, attached to rear using the poppers already there, possibly with pockets for mirrors instead of Bungee or maybe Velcro strips.

Having something made up seems to be the best option .

will need to waterproofed i think, going to look over w/e whether to alter or not but for £5 cheaper than i could buy the material to start off with
