Anyone had trouble with cracks after fixing the canopy with rivets as per
the drawings?
I'm considering using screws like the later RVs, but presume the small RV3
canopy is less prone to differential expansion and cracks than the larger
ones.
If you used screws, was tapping into the canopy tubes sufficient (perhaps
using Pro-seal as a threadlocker). I don't think the diameter of the tubes
(1/2 and 3/8 inch) allows Rivnuts.
The canopy and tubes are now drilled to 1/8 every 2 1/2 inches. (and no
cracks yet . . . !)
Thanks
