Does your canvas top has tears or shrunk over time or do you just don’t like the color any more? You are either in for an expensive aftermarket top or you have to spend some time to make your own. Yes, it’s a lot of work but you don’t need a sewing machine. The new canvas can be build with a tarp used for truck canvas and it can be glued with a special glue.

Usually we do not recommend suppliers but in this case there is one which stands out of the crowd and has all the material you will need: Mauritzon Inc., Chicago, IL, phone:  773-235-6000. It's called Coverlight Select or Super 22 Vinyl and comes in Red, Blue, Black and Gray and is 61" wide. Talk to Rich and tell him it's for a Hovercraft to get a good price. Take the 22oz or 40oz material!. They also sell the glue you'll need called HH-66. In a lot of areas it’s better to double up the material so make sure you order enough
