I'm about to replace my canvas with the 3-window version sold by the Bus
Depot.  Inspecting it prior to installation I was surprised to find that
the front screen and screen flap are secured by Velcro strips along the
vertical edges.  I say 'surprised' because the product description says
it is "a much more authentic reproduction of the original than those
sold elsewhere".

I haven't seen those sold elsewhere, maybe they have even more Velcro.
Or did the original 3-window canvas also use Velcro (doubt it)?

Hopefully Velcro will be adequate for this application.  It looks a bit
cheesy but perhaps once installed it is alright.  Anyone have one of
these in use & care to comment?
