Hiya, welcome to the club

with the leisure drive pop top the canvas is riveted directly onto the roof - you should have some plastic strips that go on top of the canvas (inside) to stop it tearing with the rivets.

ah i see thank you . hmm i dont have those strips with it as we bought it from ebay. what would you sujest to use for the plastic strips like anything i could buy from b&q or something like that ? thanks x

I think you could use any strong (but supple) plastic strips......I too bought one from Ebay, its currently still on top of the shed!!!!
