Yes, I removed the canvas from our Pathfinder to give it a good clean.
draped the whole thing over a tent frame on the lawn and washed it with pure liquid soap purchased from our local hardware store (don't use soap powder), then set to with the high pressure hose. let the canvas dry. It was in the summer when it was HOT.
No need to reproof the canvas, when dry put it back on the pathfinder.
You have discovered how to take the canvas off, its not hard to put back on, when the canvas is back on the poles, screw the canvas onto the bed boards, it might take some stretching with the canvas having been cleaned. Make sure the door is zipped up to keep the canvas taught.
When it was fitted back on, I cleaned the windows with proper cleaner.
The canvas looked fab, mildew spots nearly invisible. The FC was left up in the rain, let dry and then rained on again, it didn't leak at all.
With the canvas off, it was a good opportunity to give it a good check over.
Loved the FC!
