[mark.bilsborough]

hi all im after changing the canvas on my poptop it a 1980 devon is it easy to do or worth gettin a pro to do it ???????

any help would be great

Easy. Unscrew the bottom and save the strips, unscrew the top ( do it this way or the top will be a nightmare ) Make sure new one is square and repeat in reverse with new screws. I put a butyl double sided sticky tape before putting the strips back on. It held the canvas in place and gave a good seal.

pages 6 and 7 of camper album. I got a 20mm strip for the inside from a window place and used rivets with large 10mm heads every 100mm all the way round. I have no pics of that though. oh, and the butyl sticky tape all the way round.
