Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
I could not find the advice I was looking for, so forgive me for asking such a basic question. I need advice on making the very first canopy cuts. This is the removal of that huge flange all the way around. From what I understand, the canopy becomes very floppy? Vans instruct to not move and to smooth out the cuts first. How? Is it best to cut with canopy positioned upside down so you can do both? Or maybe off the edge of table? I was thinking of cutting about a foot or so on each side and then duct taping side to side as I go. Id like to get started on this today since it will be warm enough but Im a bit of a frady cat!
If I get that cut done successfuly, Ill need more help as Vans loses me in their plans. We put some one in fuse to move canopy around for best fit? How do you know when you have best fit? Is the goal there to mark the seperation line from the windscreen? Vans talks about lifting the frame up until it touces and then marking the rollers. I wonder about that as well since clamping the sides of canopy to frame would change the height.
Any advice on getting started on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill
