I pulled my two-man tent (REI Half Dome 2 HC) out to check, since I haven't had a chance in years, and I figure I will need it in about a month. The footprint and fly are sticky on the coated side. Googling this indicated the waterproof coating is breaking down, which is not unusual for a 15-20 year old tent. I'm not sure about being able to get a new rainfly for such an old tent, but I will reach out to REI. Perhaps the fly from the current model with work. Anyway, what do people think. If I can't get a replacement fly, should I get a new tent or is there another way to rehabilitate the fly?
