Hmmmm,
I recommend that volks  using my Busware  tilts NOT try & stretch
their cotton canvas when wet as it is harder to stretch than when dry-
Acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella might vary, as their integral shrinkage
is only 0.5% instead of 4% w/ cotton.

I would be very careful in trying to stretch your poptop, might try &
leave it popped dry  & see if that improves it any.

Richard Jones just had this issue w/ his new OEM Westfalia poptop-
Richard has yours stretched any since installation last Spring?

YMMV,

Mr. BZ
