Most notably, during July, when it's 120 degrees up in there with all of the dust of an old piece of junk canvas! And, absolutely no room to maneuver! But, all things being equal & if I had my druthers I would rather install the top of the canvas while the top is upside down. And, especially If you have some help to do it. It's just not that hard to slip the top off! I'm usually taking the opportunity to paint the top while I have it off too. And, As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
