Small tears and holes?!? Did you guys see the picture of his canvas? Oh, wait, sorry, Stan already said he didn't. Practically the whole driver's side of Dylan's poptop canvas is ripped.

Anyway, if I was going to go through all the trouble of replacing it, I'd get a new one, even if money is short. After all, camping in a Westy is what they're made for. About $240 at Bus Depot . . . replace it once and never again.

Granted, I make enough these days that it would cost me that much in my labor to replace it . . . I'll leave you all guessing as to whether I make too much or if I'm just darn slow! :^)
