Thanks, bought one from her ebay store crafty-plates

Like I said at Sywell.....hope the fitting isn't too bad. Some find the stitching so tight it's difficult to get the new cable through. Others have been luckier.

i zip tied my old cable to the new one and pulled it through

Thanks did order a cable from crafty-plates, and used the zip tie trick and got it pulled thru so an easy thing to do.

I was one of those that found it really tight, I used the old one to pull a para-cord through, threaded it through the new cable loop and then pulled back, was a struggle.  Make sure if it is tight, that you pull in s straight line, otherwise like me you will be out with a needle and thread repairing the stitching from the canvas loop onto the main roof canvas!

Just to expand on that, I looped the para cord back through the roof i.e. I did not knot it to the new cable, I tried that and it just would not fit through.
