I'm wondering the same thing, as I damaged mine by misshandling. To date, based on previous posts, I assume Todd's may be the best source. And, as a warning to others who may be prone to be as careless as I can be - I found the canopy to be more fragile than I expected. I unrolled the canopy fearing that it might tend to take a set if rolled too long a time, and temporarly draped it over the top of a chest freezer. Later I opened the freezer lid several times without removing the canopy, and now I find a crack where a freezer lid corner contacted the canopy. I've learned two things: First, the canopy is more soft and flexible than one might expect and thereby not very prone to take an undesireable set if left rolled until ready to use. And secondly, the soft flexibility is decieving in that it actually is more brittle than one might suspect. I guess I should be glad to have learned this before investing a lot of labor into fitting the canopy.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Try Todd's Canopies, in Ft Lauderdale. 954-579-0874. He's easy to work with, and turnaround time is good. My first canopy was $350, modified for taller people, 1/8th thick and tinted. My second was a thinner (lighter) canopy he's making for the European market, where they're more weight conscious. They ran considerably less, and if you can stand a minor optical flaw, he may have some real bargains. But shipping is a bear. Back in June of 2006, it was $48, in Feb of 07, it was $117. Canopy #2, the unmodified, dropped right in. Don't ask me how I know about replacement canopies. He'll also mark front and back. (nice touch)
