    Oh and #3 3K is a good price. My Crown canopy was 5K 2 years ago and after a couple of months a bit fell off where the tailgate hit a bit of it as you closed it. Not the best fit but then that might have been the dealer who fitted it
    Yeah I have had issues with dealer fitted canopies too. You pay that much and get that back, it irks! The 3K involved a lot and I mean a LOT of my time. Ok as a single guy as I was at that time, but I wouldn't do that again married and kids around. It was about a 6 week project finding the parts (custom ali extrusions and specialist glues etc) as well as mods to the vehicle to make sure the canopy fitted correctly and sealed. I didn't keep track of my time, but every day or so for a couple of hours for several weeks. Most expensive part was colour-coding metallic blue, if I had stayed white it would have been on the vehicle for about $450. This was in 2007 money...
