canvas question

Post by trojanmanXSagain »

for those of you that have canvas that covers your windshield do you install snaps on the fiberglass or are they installed on the metal framework that holds the glass?

I have a cover made of grey Sunbrella. The bottom is snapped to the fiberglass all around. The top edge is snapped along the sides into the frame and the front is held in place with Velcro strips along the top of the frame.

Mine has elastic on the top seam with the studs at top outside corners into fibreglass... the bottom is held into the fibreglass.
