this is true on the 85 up poptops.....where there are aluminum strips screwed
to both the roof and the poptop that hold the canvas....changing canvas is
easy as the spongecake.....but the 84 down ones - with the million staples - and
only the aluminum strips holding the canvas to the roof (the canvas is
stapled to the poptop section on the 80-84 westy) is a different story..
