I need to replace the velcro that attaches the canvas to the body. Is there a best way to do this. Should i use self adhesive velcro or glue normal velcro in place

I used self adhesive but glued it in place also. Its easier to take the aluminium bits of the camper first as you need to clean them off before putting new velcro on.
