Hi Brian,

My Pop top screen is also starting to rip.  What can be done is to
apply some regular screen fixer material from the hardware store if
the rips are small enough.

Another solution if the rips are huge is to replace the entire
zippered screen.  I was going to do this process but in order to do
that you kind of have to remove the canvas to get the sewing machine
on the one edge.  I went to a RV store to ask them if they could
resew a new screen and they said it would be about $300 to get the
canvas off, repair the screen and back on.

So by the time one would go through all that trouble, one could
purchase a replacement canvas as well.  There are several vendors on
the list (www.gowesty.com and www.busdepot.com) that sell new
replacement canvas with one or three windows for about $250.

I have done the tiny hole patching with the regular fixit screen tape
but the next big rips and I will replace the entire canvas and add
the 3 window screens providing lateral ventilation from the
additional side windows..... my solution.

you could glue it closed? I think sewing it closed wouldn't last, yet
maybe a patch glued on behind it might hold. Any thoughts to type of
glue, or if you can actually replace the whole thing easily?
