Subject:Re: An idea for Replacing Pop Top Canvas

At the OP: it may be too late now, but I purposely did my install
during cool weather. The only issue with cooler temps was it's effect
on the plastic staple strips. But it seems you have screws up and
down.

Can't recall posters name but he made a video of this job. It was done
during a warmer-hotter time of year. (I'm sure he would have chosen
cooler temps if that were possible!) I couldn't imagine doing this job
in warm or hotter temps.
