Thread: Canopy or hard lid recomendations

Have a arb classic plus on my new hilis
. Has the central locking rear . Way nicer . Works on a clip system. Instead of drilling holes in the tray.

I've got the bog standard crown canopy on my Triton, It has lift up windows on both sides which I prefer over the sliding ones as it makes it easier to reach in a grab stuff up the front of the deck.

Admittedly it does leak, but it doesn't really bother me to be honest..... Mate of mine has a ranger with a canopy that has central locking, interior lights and a carpeted load mat which is pretty nice, kinda like astroturf type of stuff.

I’ve got the roll top that comes with the Wildtrack model. Surprisingly it is quite waterproof! 2023 model Ute

Your canopy sounds just like the one on my ranger also a crown that leaks.

Exact same setup. I tracked the leak to the sliding window against the cab. Water pools up there and runs into the canopy.

That sliding window seems completely redundant?


Mine could be the same spot, its up the front somewhere and i can see where it drips down the mitsi tough-deck

Navara utes have a opening back window to the cab so the canopy window is useful on them but they are the only ute I know with that setup

Sliding window is so you can clean the dust off the rear screen easier than trying to poke something in...

RAD hardlids.
Built here in nz - without the extra mark up. Seriously well priced - my old man put one on his new d-max and saved nearly 2k over the other brands by the time it was installed and had the extra locks and alarms ect installed.

My 2010 Triton also has an opening back window, and so does the canopy. great for long thin loads!

Neither, throw the tub away and get a tray, far more versatile
More on point, the last ute I had with a canopy was a D40 with a Beaut Utes canopy, it was excellent, never leaked,latches were excellent, did have to replace the stays for the back window but she'd done a lot of work.
No idea if they are still making but that'd be my pick

Beut ute ones I bele9ve are now marketed as arb.
