Hi there, have a look at poptop parts for replacement canvas. Cost is 275 or 325 depending on which type you are looking for and they sell the set of 4 gas struts for 166 but you get the struts cheaper, can't remember the company but a search of entries will find them mentioned. Poptop parts do make a good fitting canvas.
Hope that helps a bit.

Is it the side elevating one? From experience sgs engineering for gas struts however send them all the details off of the ones you have as the ones listed on thier website for Devon side elevating roof are incorrect.
Steer clear of proud to pop roof canvases, I fitted mine September last year and the print is worn off in places and the fit is terrible i have around 90mm of excess material, mine is a striped one and for the ends they have printed a square and cut it into triangles so one end the pattern is upside down and the other end they didn't bother to align so it looks a mess.
One last thing whatever canvas you go with make sure that the aluminium frame inside actually fixes to the canvas as per original mine are held in place with webbing which means that to get the canvas to fold when closing the roof I need to manually put the pleats into the canvas otherwise it won't close with a caravanstore awning in there as well.
