I haven't made this specific type of poptop canvas before,  but I
would guarantee the fit.  There are plenty of vendors out there
making the aftermarket ones(even Westfalia), so I see no need to
introduce another version to compete w/ the others.  However, if
someone wanted a custom color, etc. then I could fill that niche?
