Subject:Re: pop top canvas install, please help

The canvas "bead" will be tucked inside the aluminum groove for the top. The
"bead" will be on the inside edge of the aluminum trim on the roof/body of
the van/bottom part of the canvas. You'll notice that the aluminum trim
rails attach differently for the top and bottom. The groove is hidden for
the top rails and shows for the bottom rails.
suggestion: when you attach the top of the canvas to the fiberglass pop-top,
pull the front, front conrners and sides as straight and snug as possible
before putting in the screws. This will reduce "pucker" verticallly. I'll
attache a link here to pix of mine and you'll see the pucker I'm talking
about.
If the above needs better explaining, let me know. I just did this job about
3-4 weeks ago.
