Hi everyone, pop-top canvas replacement for the 84 Westy today.
I spent all day yesterday with the new canvas (that affixes with screws) and it just would not stretch enough to be tacked down. 
�
I tacked the rear top first, then the front, but the two front top corners won't reach. 
It's a brand new canvas. I installed a good used canvas in my 82 Westfalia last year (the staple type) and it was way easier-I just tacked the four corners first and the top was all tacked down within an hour.
�
Can the canvas be pre-stretched? Hang it from a tree branch and toss boulders into it?
I did'nt try opening the three zippered windows-maybe that will alow it to strech enough??
I'm thinking I might have to take the pop-top off otherwise.
