On my early type poptop, the tack strip for the tent canvas was screwed on when I took it apart. I’m now in the process of renewing everything, but just to be sure shouldn’t it be stapled instead of screwed? Like as in the gowesty video.

It can be difficult to use staples replacing the canvas without a proper gun. Looks like you have a staple version that someone attached with screws.

Yes i also think that. I have a proper staple gun which I used for my T2a canvas.
