The Velcro Strips that hold the canvas to the aluminium strips keep coming unstuck. I have stuck them back with Evostick but problem continues. Does anyone have the same problem How can I fix it permanently Thanks Allan

Pop rivet them like they are at each end a few times along each strip. Permanent solution.

If using glue then clean off the rails properly underneath first as there will be old residue there that stops its sticking properly

If you do try a grip fill ( no nails) use a solvent based one, grip fill is.But even they aren't that good on a clean surface Most water based are useless.
A resin 2 part epoxy glue you may find better.

Clean it off really well, no more nails and several pop rivets drilled in cured ours. Every bit of Velcro had to be treated this way on ours!

Maybe a bit of wet n dry too give it a key. I use grip fill quite a lot and I use it too stick gyproc too the underside of rsj's which hold well trouble is as soon as it gets cold outside it tends to lose its grip.room temp seems ok. But must be solvent based.
I would stil go with a epoxy resin glue and make sure that's solvent based as well as a lot are going water based and its useless.
