Subject:Re: Canvas install question - 3'' too tall?

I know of two people who bought 3 window canvas in the past two years
and both were too tall. I have a new 3 window sitting in a box as
well... I wonder if...?

Anyway, what Brent Harris did to take up the slack was to add a piece
of aluminum square tubing at the TOP of each pop top raising arm. It
essentially extends the height of the pop top and takes up the slack
in the oversized canvas. I hope to install min as soon as the daytime
temps drop below 90 and will report back...
