Replace a Westie pop top canvas

Post by callanish »

Some help please

How easy is it to replace a pop top canvas with the roof on ?
Is the one window JK canvas a "good buy" ?

Thanks

I couldn't get my JK canvas to fit properly and had to stick in two bits of wood in the top corners of the roof frame to staple it to as it just wouldn't stretch into the corners - not sure if that makes sense to you? When fitting, don't have the roof fully open, prop it to almost full opening, that way the canvas will be nicely stretched when you do open up fully. It's not really complicated, just fiddly - especially if doing it on your own.

GoWesty.com seems to be the best place to order them. Unless JK sells the ones with side windows. That would be the preferred option.

Or take your canvas off and mail it to them.
