Removing Canvas from Frame

Does anyone know how to remove the canvas hood from it's frame?

The zip has gone on one side of my hood, I have found a company that can repair it, but, they need the canvas removed from the frame to do it.

Can this be done DIY or is it a case of let the pro's at Land Rover do it and pray they do not screw it up?

Thanks,

I think (given the way mine practically fell apart) the bits where the frame anchors to the canvas via soft loops are just double sided taped together.

Thanks for that info.

I have always been puzzled as the hood has a storage bag which it would never fit into on it's frame.

Interesting, I wonder if there was more than one manufacturer/design?

Hmm, yes very interesting.

Mine is glued, well sort of, it's tacky and will peel open.

Now while it is being repaired, zip etc. I could have Velcro fitted, however, the question I now have is how do you remove and re-fit the tail frame?

I would love to get this soft top fully restored, but, am afraid of recking it.

Any advice welcome, please.
