[QUOTE="jp, post: 545248, member: 118"] OK I had a bespoke Canvas made for my Devon Poptop (well the base surround bit is Devon, Not sure what conversion the top bit is off) in modern materials with some zip out windows on the sides. I've taken the top off and stapled and screwed that in place [img]http://external.vwkd.co.uk/poptop.jpg[/img] Now when I removed the original vinyl many many years ago I chiseled the tops off the rivets and pulled the metal stips off to get the Bellows free. This has left me with a load of sticky up bits of rivets which I need to remove to put new ones in. I've tried punching them through but I'm guessing there is wood up behind them? Also tried drilling them out but thats not to easy with them sticking proud of the pop top base. So what to do really.. grind them flat and punch/drill out? will removing the cap from the van help me? [img]http://external.vwkd.co.uk/poptop2.jpg[/img] Any advice or pointers on what best to do and any how to's on fititng the canvas much appreciated. JP [/QUOTE]
