Canvass top
A friend (professional) helped me install the canvass top on my Roadster. We attached it in warm weather and it was tight. Now it is relaxing a bit. We are in a heat wave here (temps in high 80's). Should I wet the top a little and let it draw in the sun? Seems that I remember my old camping tent would tighten up after a rain and then sunshine. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks, BW

Re: Canvass top
You don't mention if the top was ready made or or cut and sewn by your friend. Knowing the fabric type would help too. I would aske the folks at your point of purchase. Generally speaking convertible tops tend to shrink on their own.

Re: Canvass top
This is a Cartouche canvas top. It was pre-cut, but had to be fitted to the top irons and wood. The humidity has been high here. Perhaps that is why the top is not so tight now. BW
