Hi I am looking to replace a small Riviera pop top canvas - not the large one that sleeps people on the roof.

It is very similar to the SO-42 pop top canvas of of late Split pre 67 wesfalias.

Has anybody used this for their bay small Riviera pop tops?

Struggling to find a supplier.

Thanks for any help

ben

You're talking about this one, right? This is my 71 Riviera. The canvas was not that stretch on this photo coz my springs are a little weak. But I added a pair of bungee cord on top and all is well for now.

The one for splitties will not fit, it's too short. I had trouble finding a source myself. In fact I did not find one. Sooooo, I made it myself. I borrowed my Mom's sewing machine and started sewing. I have to admit that I knew a little bit of sewing but it's pretty easy if you haven't sew before. Just borrow one and practice a little bit and you'll be on your way in no time.😊
