Not sure where the video is. I replaced my canvas without removing the top. The trick is...you don't raise the top all the way. Put a folding chair in the top to hold the top with it partially lowered. Just be sure to do the work on a day with no strong winds and preferably in a shady location, as it does get warm up there.
