Just opened the camper top and found 5/6 small holes in it. It was rolled onto the frame and covered with the zippered canvas cover. Camper top is only 3 months old. Don't know how the holes got there. Would like suggestions as to how to fix them.

Thanks

Is the cover Sunbrella? Are the frames aluminum or SS?

If the holes are small, sometimes you can put small pices of similar color of Sunbrella in the inside and use a material such as "Marine Goop" for repair. The professional way, is to sew a patch over the hole. There are also some pretty good "stickem cloths" We used some on sails--and couldn't sew patchs on for some time, and found that the repair material had stuck very well and was almost impossiable to remove.

makes a great patch which should work well.
