Austop pop up roof canvas change

[ASW]

Hi
I have an Austop Pop top and am thinking of changing the canvas has anybody done this? I know with some roofs the canvas is easily detached.
Thanks

I have done a couple, I find it easier to take the pop top completely off and fit the new canvas with it on some trestles, then refit pop-top and fit canvas to the van. You will need an assistant.

Hi
Thanks, is it reasonably straight forward to do?

It will depend on your skill levels, you need to remove the pop top head liner first. I took about 3 to 4 hours to change one completely but found it straight forward.
I had installed a few pop top roofs prior to this.

Hi
That's brilliant thanks, at least I know it can be done but maybe not by me

Austop will sell you a new canvas and talk you through fitting it or get a price off them for fitting. Supply they were around £300-400.

That's great thanks, they are quite close to me.
