T-top canvas replacement

[Scott1115]

I plan to remove and replace the old torn and leaky canvas with new. Where the antennae and radar wires go through the canvas I will need to make holes. What should I use to make the holes and is there anything special I should do to prevent the new canvas from tearing in these areas after the holes are made? Plan on using Sunbrella (or similar) material.

Thanks,
Scott

when you make the holes have someone sew around them.

Thank you. Looks like the current one was either cut or edges singed with a soldering iron.

I would go with a Weblon canvas vs. Sunbrella.

Snafu - what is the benefits of Weblon vs Sunbrella?

[SnafuFishTeam]

The Sunbrella is canvass and when a bird shits on it and you scrub it off, you eventually lose the waterproofing and get a leak. Weblon is more like a plastic that is easy to clean and looks the same. Same warranty. Google it, you see the difference.
