....I always envisioned replacing the Weblon soft-wall on our Outfitter would be quite easy! With roof in up position:
-simply remove the bottom drip cap rails; perhaps 80 screws (and keep them)
-remove the top roof U channel (perhaps 50 screws), Weblon now just falls loose.
Simply pull Weblon "band" forward, slip over forward roof section, and just peel it off the roof towards the rear, then close roof till new Weblon side arrives. Send the entire intact Weblon "band" to a soft-side camper replicator (like the link posted above). Receive the new one (by UPS). Repeat above procedure to install...absolutely no roof removal needed at all.
The only "hitch" may be if you have a wire harness sheath channeling wires into the roof from camper, attached to your inside soft-side wall. This is easy to detach/re-connect.
