That's my project for this weekend. I got a color coordinated (burgundy) 3 vent canvas for my 91 Burgundy Syncro Westy. Removed the old canvas in about a casual 1 1/2. It was so much cooler up top once the canvas was out of the way... Then I started on the new one. I was a bit surprised by the wood blocks (in the corners and middle) and those were the slowest to transfer over to the new canvas. Still I got the top reattached by sundown...at which point I stopped for the day to shoot off some birthday stuff... Tomorrow I'll finish the bottom reattachment. BTW, my old canvas (gray single window) is in decent shape except for a couple of small holes near the latch (where a previous owner pinched it in the latch) in case anybody wants it. By small holes I mean slightly larger than a pinhead (but too small for houseflies...I make no guarantees about black flies, noseemums, or misquitoes.) on 7/4/03 8:39 PM, David Maurio at maurio11@COMCAST.NET wrote: > I bought a 3 window canvas replacement from the Bus Depot about a year ago > for my 76.
