Hi Debbie, I just bought the 3-window cotton from GoWesty. Not installed yet. I undid all the screws on the bottom of the canvas yesterday and will do the rest next friday. A local vanagoneer and I will help each other lift off the tops at a "canvas party". This is a tough weave, thicker and heavier than the OEM soft cotton. It's so dry here in Utah that there is no concern about Mold/mildew. GoWesty also said that if you're doing the job yourself the cotton is more stretchy and easier to apply. I know it's part of their advertising but this is what GoWesty says about the difference: http://tinyurl.com/i6xo Good shopping and camping, Bob |
