<< If you were using a staple gun, sounds like you were installing on a Bus instead of a Vanagon. I think my job could have been done from the "bottom-up also and would have been easier if I could have stapled the top edge in place, but the Vanagon Westy has aluminum strips with screws......lots of screws..... that hold the canvas to the fiberglass pop-top. >> Warren, I beg to differ. I have personally disassembled three Vanagon pop-tops. They do use staples to attach them to the fiberglass top of Vanagons. Then an aluminum strip with lots of screws to attach them to the metal roof. Perhaps they have a different way to attach them on the later Westies but evryone I have encountered so far used staples for the upper atttachment. BenT |
