Anybody have any pros or cons on where to buy a canvas top for my M37 ? Whatever I end up with will be around for a while, want to do it right.

My WEEBEE Webbing M37 top has been going strong for over eight years and it still looks to have plenty of life left in it.

I gotta agree, my WEE-BEE Webbing top has ten years plus on it, heard a lot of good things about Beechwood to, they make a Bimini or Bikini top that is next on my list.

New Life Canvas. Without a doubt. They use heavy weight material.Excellent workmanship. And the products actually perform to specifications. Cant' beat them. They have made Canvas for all my MV's and when I compare them to others, I am surprised that a few of them even try to stay in busines:jumpin:

Did anyone have an issue with the front cord being to small for the opening in the front cab top canvas? the new one I bought, and I forget which company I bought it from said that it is standard and that my opening was opened farther. I kinda find it hard to believe the opening was made bigger. I think I will see if someone can take my old cord and pet it in the new canvas.

Beach wood did my canvas work and did a wonderful job. Mine fit in the groove quite tightly until I put it in and took it off a few times. You could try a couple C Clamps with some blocks of wood with a groove routed in them to squeeze the opening down some. My guess is it would not take much to tighten things up. Go easy on the left edge since you need a little play in that area to get things started into the channel.

My cab canvas and new seat canvas's where done by WeeBee, and fit perfect. I've also recently, got a new cargo canvas and end curtains from Midwest M, and they are also quality pieces.
I think the canvas's from Midwest M took just shy of a month, from payment to delivery, to get to me here in Blighty. A brilliant service.[thumbzup]

I had a M151 where someone had taken a screwdriver or a chisel and pried the channel more open. I guess they wanted the top to pull through easier...problem is they left little humps in the channel.

My windshield channel was crushed on the passenger side, then covered up w/a welded-on roof. Took a lot of effort to not remove the channel and redo the entire channel. I rammed a progressively larger all-thread through it. There is still a small dent/crush, I can live w/it. Not sure the damaged area is visible in this shot?
