Subject:Adding side windows to pop-top canvas?
From:John Reynolds

Ok, all this talk about pop-top screen replacement!

My friend's wife made the pop-top canvas on my van (and did an excellent
job (van was her & husband's at the time) .  She made a super large front
screened window,  but due to time pressure, did not put a zipper to allow
zipping out the screen for luggage carrier access.  There are also no
side windows, which I miss from the canvas I installed on my last van.

How possible is it to add side windows and/or a zipper to the front
screen - without removing the pop-top canvas?  I'm thinking an upholstery
shop doing the work more than me, but it might then be cheaper to install
a new canvas and sell the old one!    I would consider tacking just a job
myself as well.

If the canvas would have to be removed:.....since I believe this canvas
is not stapled in like the 81 I had, is re-installing any worst hassle
than a 1st time install with a new canvas?
