WTB NOS Canvas top

Post by redlight » Mon May 20, 2019 5:54 pm

I am look to replace my canvas top. Current top is coming apart at the seams . It has been installed for 15 years and while the MUTT is garaged, it has seen it share of weather. It has been exposed to the summer sun and even drivin through a hurricane.
I will be at the MVPA national meet in York to save on shipping.
Thanks
Bruce in Boston Mass.

Bruce,
It’s one of the few things I would suggest buying new.
Old canvas just doesnt hold.
Go buy get a new one made.
The price may hurt but you will appreciate in the long run.

Agreed, get new. I have two old ones but they are really not up to the constant whipping the road wind causes. One has a tear and both have yellowed windows. I bet if I took them to a boat canvas repair place to get the windows replaced they would have problems doing to sewing on the canvas.

I had 1 or 2 canvas tops, problem was they would shrink, so the back bottom would be 6" or above would it was supposed to go.
