Like the HF canopy that I got that was completely missing the velcro on the corners of the cover?
I know it's supposed to be there since it's the 3rd canopy of that style I've had and the 2nd HF one of the same exact item (first was damaged - store error rather than factory)... I should've kept the cover from the first and the frame from the 2nd...

Yeah I seem to remember reading that Cruiser doesn't use a torch wrench on these either. Just snug them up and then maybe just a little bit more.
