Installing a new canvas top

Fatrover · Jun 24, 2023

Morning all, I've just put a new Canvas truck cab top on the series, comes from All wheel trim and I'm delighted with the quality. Question is, is it best to tension down the rear flap while it shrinks or leave it looser? Last one I put on was when I lived in the Canaries where rain wasn't a worry. I've tensioned the rear rope down as per the pics, is this right?

Thanks from a wet Argyll.!

Always best to have it tight when they're new to allow for shrinkage, looks very smart. Mines has mould spots inside not nice too look at but it doesnt leak.

Excellent, cheers, Ive installed it all now and tightened it down, should be fine, am well impressed with the quality, my last one was Exmoor which was much much thinner compared to this Allwheel trim one.

Ive used them before really good to deal with, very helpful on the phone.

Yes, 100% recommend, dead easy from ordering to delivery and as I’ve said the quality is fab, real good thick canvas. Very pleased indeed.
