There were some pics and a discussion on FWC or the ATC threads in the past. Last time I saw them was a couple years back and I can't say whether they were new post or someone retrieved them from a earlier post. You might do a search or one of the mods, might be able to locate them.

Try this link for an example (I think there are two frames here show leaning against a wall)

If you are wanting to replace the side material see the videos here:

and here is a pic with a partial view of newer model roof framing.

Hey beachbunny,
I’ve attached my build thread with the sections that show various aspects of the roof. If you start there and move forward, it will show you what the frame looks like, all the way through how the lift panels are attached, and the side liner installed. Hope this helps!

Check out my post 313 for a diagram of the upper trim, canvas, etc.

Also, here is a video about the roof, you'll likely find some of the shot useful in understanding the roof structure.
And finally a video of installing the canvas, I talk about the canvas, trim construction a bit in here too.
Best of luck, let me know if yu have any more questions.

excellent,thanks living.makes sense to put liner inside roof. i have a 19,i wonder if that is how they do it now.
what about polybutal tape,calk ,etc?
Posted 07 March 2021 - 10:40 PM
Yes on both the butyl tape and calk. You know for some reason down on the bottom seal, where the linear meets the body, mine had no butyl, but that was a 35 year old build, my guess is they have calk and burtle on all seams.
