for dry weather ? Get rid of that old canvas |
The next step was to remove the
remainder of the old canvas tent material. Four aluminum moldings along the roof secure
the canvas bottom to the top of the van, with about a zillion little screws. Remove these
moldings and safely store them and the screws, you'll need them later. (fig 2) Before the canvas can be removed from the shell, both support legs
must be removed (carefully support the poptop with a sturdy box), as well as the three
rubber hold-down straps. The canvas is attached to the top with four plastic strips that
are stapled in place. Pry these strips off, remove the staples and save the strips, you'll
be reusing them. Additional staples hold the canvas to the wood strips along the top,
remove them and pull off the canvas.(fig 3) |
