Will my canvas shrink if I take it off?

Post by linx310 »

On Friday I installed my new canvas on my jeep. I read in the instructions that if you don't install it right away it can shrink.

Well it is supposed to rain tonight, and i can't get it to the garage because one of the bleeder valves broke off while I was bleeding the system.

Will the canvas shrink if I remove it for a few days?

Why not just leave it on. It is waterproof and it will stretch to fit better and then dry with only a tad of shrinkage.
