Tim. Here's some pics of what I did to repair my canvas. Sounds like your's is a similar repair. I bought/used canvas from a local fabric shop. I also treated it with water repellent. (wait for the fabric glue to cure first) http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/poptopcanvasrepair Just to give you an idea of how it may look. A bit "trailer park" IMO, but so far the fabric glue I used is holding up and I think I'll get a few more years out of that canvas! Cheers, Neil.
