Hi Dana,


Amen!!


My 64-year old Dad installed a 3-window bus-depot canvas last week
onto his 85 westy in about 3 hours. He propped the roof up with a
scrap 2x4 and then stapled and screwed the canvas into place with no
hassles at all.


BTW: A right-angle screwdriver or a small ratchet with a phillips bit
helps immensely in the corners.


Happy trails,
