Replacement Canvas vendor recommends?

So far, tons of options for Westfalia style pop-up canvas replacements, but not finding much for the ASI/Riviera smaller center pop-top. Anyone have suggestions?

Is the Riviera poptop canvas a simple square, or does it have screens and whatnot that fold up willy-nilly as you lower the roof? Could you ask a local upholsterer to knock one out?

I just saw a beautifully-done Vanagon seat with new Bay plaid upholstery plus the piping! looks really good, and it only cost $200.00 per seat. Sometimes, local comes through!

Ruckman, Didn't Winter make one for the bus he bought from you?

Zip up screened windows on both sides and the front. Good point Mike. Ramona's canvas was in worse shape than Bertha's.

I still have mine in the box, waiting to go on. It's certainly the same yellow. The screens are black, where as they were white on the OG one I took out. I don't remember if it has a screen at the front and back or only the front. Can lay it out tomorrow and check if you like.

EDIT: Oh wait, you're talking about the little poptop, not the full camper top, right? If so, disregard above. Sorry!

Yep, the small square one in the middle that goes straight up.
