Bart:

: I had thought the rear windows were auto glass. Apparently they were heavy clear vinyl.

I've got the photos you sent me, thanks. When assembled, mine looks just like the one in the photo, except the rear window, which in the photo is like the side windows. Jerry has the same type rear window too.

So, it's certainly possible that the 2 flexible plastic rear windows on my canvas have been modified from original. I have no way to verify their authenticity.

I had to wonder myself, when I began to scrutinize them, if they were original or not. The stitching around the edges seems crude, but then again, it's rather crude in general over the entire top.

: What material is used to surround and seal the window in the canvas.

It is a vinyl/plasticized reinforcing tape (appears to be cotton base), same as the edge binding around the periphery of all the canvas pieces.

In some of my close-up pictures of the doors & door posts, you can see this edge binding better, and see that it's flaking off in places. The flex platic windows are sewn on with the same stuff, laid flat.
