I know of two people who bought 3 window canvas in the past two years and both were too tall. I have a new 3 window sitting in a box as well... I wonder if...? Anyway, what Brent Harris did to take up the slack was to add a piece of aluminum square tubing at the TOP of each pop top raising arm. It essentially extends the height of the pop top and takes up the slack in the oversized canvas. I hope to install min as soon as the daytime temps drop below 90 and will report back...
