If you plan on making it a Bimini top, try this first.
I have done it with mixed results depending on the top.
Amcos take it well.
A torch! slowly heat the vinyl to where it's pliable, do not melt it.
And if the stichings starts to smolder, it's too hot.
Heat it up along the sides from the top to the snaps, have an assistant
pull real hard using plyers on the snap. Again, caution here cause you
can rip the snap out.
Do this after a day in the sun.
