I went with the canvas 3 window poptop tent (from BusDepot) and I
am VERY satisfied.  I posted the long and detailed procedure that I
used to replace the old canvas.  Try:  http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-
bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0005C&L=vanagon&P=R18734  May 2000 under
this email address.  I just did a "PopTop" search of the archives (just
since January 2000) and in 45 seconds I got 1,018 hits!  Good luck.
