I think the metal frame that supports the canvas,would be the hardest thing to make.The beauty of these tops is that they can be folded in half.

Re: Canvas T Tops (hiyosilver)
From all the talk everytime this subject is brought up. whoever perfects such a product will have a waiting market on this forum. Who will be the first? Attachment seems to be the main problem. I haven't figured it out yet, maybe someone will soon. Hershey :smash: :confused: :chevy

My set of vinyl tops did not fit at all. The steel frame did not fit either side. One side was 1/4" short along the rear opening. In my free time I have been lengthening, shortening, recurving the frames to fit.
Great idea, but poorly manufactured. I understand why they when out of business.
