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:

Good shopping and camping,
