Subject:      Screen Quality in New Pop top Canvas
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi all

Here is the Poo!

I have an 85 Westy and have to replace the OE Canvas ( surprise, Surprise )

Now many of you guys know I own and operate an Upholstery and Canvas shop in Michigan and make all sorts of Canvas things.

But here is my gig. I usually do not make or try to reinvent the wheel. Hence I do not make pop top canvas Or do seat covers for VWs. Plenty of others that make good quality items that are not worth my time and effort to make or Reinvent.

Now, Since I do need to replace the canvas on my Own 85 as stated I need to find out where to get one from.

I have seen 100s of canvas replacements but usually do not know who made them.

I do not want Acrylic or Hemp. Good Ol Quality Canvas in Tan. Seem simple Right??

Seeing all the canvas made the one MAIN thing that I have seen that makes me cringe is the Screen quality. Always looks and lasts like cheap hardware store import door screen that fails!

So Who has purchased a pop top canvas and installed it themselves that are very pleased with the canvas fit and finish as well as Having a Heavy Weight Screen in it??

1 window or 3 window is fine. But it must exceed in Screen Material. I do not want to have to swap screen in a few years is all.

If you do not want to offend any Suppliers on this list by Bad mouthing them please send info directly to me and Off Site.

Again if all else fails I will make my Own. BUT, Again hate to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks to all and happy Friday!

Jonce
