How difficult is it to replace the pop top canvas on an 89 Vanagon?  Which
should I use staple of screw? Some helpful hints would be appreciated!
Thanks

Below are links to the archives.  The first one is the main page where you
can click on Search or click on various weeks.  The second one is the same
as if you went to the first one and clicked on search (the search page).

In the "For" box, if you just enter    canvas    you'll find more stuff than
you ever wanted to know about various models going all the way back to 1994.
Of course, you can refine the search and you can limit it to certain time
periods if you want.  If you include pop top .... don't forget that some
folks posted using poptop or pop-top.

I haven't replaced the pop top canvas on mine, and you'll probably hear from
folks that have with some good advice.  I understand, though, that 1980
through 1984 models use staples and the newer ones do not.
