Hi Folks,

Since I have not found a US outfit who makes replacement canvas for T3
Dokas, I decided to try getting one made locally instead.
The main issue now is getting the right hardware. The D-rings and strap for
holding the canvas when you roll it up is not problem.
The rectangular grommets are another story.

I've seen at least one US vendor who makes canvas for early T1 & T2 Dokas
offer these. I am not sure if he sells them separately.
He has not decided to build canopies for the T3 yet. Of course, I've also
lost his contact info. I tried to find his ad in the Samba w/o
success.

Can anyone help?

I am looking to get a canopy done in material similar to those on soft tops
used on convertibles. My 2wd Doka is dark gray. The silver/
light gay material used on both my Swedish & German canopies just does not
look right on the dark colored vehicle. Looks OK on
my white Syncro Doka though.
