The Velcro tabs on the pop top (soft material section) are there to fix a small annex section to stop rain entering the annex area. there are 3 at each end of the van - a number of mine have come off - does anyone have any better ways to fix these end pieces or just replace the Velcro tabs?
Not sure if what I am talking about is clear so will post a photo later today.

Mines got a strip of velcro instead and one was half off(glue had failed)
As I do for hundreds of jobs, I stuck it back on with roof and gutter sealnt, truely awesome stuff.
Remains flexible but strong.

I ended buying Velcro Strip from Bunnings (Heavy Duty version) - I just cut strips similar in length to orginal strips - tested out recently and all well.
I did not do a complete strip as I thought the small strips allow for easier folding up of roof material when putting roof down.
