Re: Westie pop top canvas
Several options:
Just Kampers (cheapest) but single window and questionable quality...peeps say they just don't fit, not sure how true this is but I have seen several comments saying that the canvas wouldn't stretch far enough to fit....
American import (Acrylic, selection of colours, top notch but at a hight price) Go Westy
Custom made (send off your old canvas to one of several custom awning makers) don't know the details but I'm sure someone will post them.

Re: Westie pop top canvas
I saw the just kampers replacement canvas the other day and whilst well made i.e. put together; the material looked incredibly thin compared to the original. I would have thought they could be quite drafty. I like the idea of conceptsails and sail canvas is really quite thick.
Someone on here has them fitted recently perhaps they can post a picture?
