#FLEXIGLASS CANOPY WINDOWS#

A little bit of extra space on top would be nice when you’re packing it to the brim. Being flush with the top of the cab also means there is less vertical space than some other canopies. It means my fridge, which sits on top of my drawer system on a sliding top, is set forward a lot more than it otherwise could be, and I have a lot less room in front of the fridge. The rear window is also at quite a shallow angle, cutting off a fair bit of storage space. I often bump the edge of the opening when pulling stuff out from on top of my drawer system, especially between the fridge and the side of the canopy where it is quite narrow. The rear opening is quite rounded, so access is not as good as it could be. The rounded, trendy look does come with disadvantages. The sleek looking Flexiglass Sport Canopy.

But lift up windows are far superior in terms of easy access to stuff inside. Sliding windows are good if you want to leave them open whilst driving, for example to feed fresh air to a dog riding in the back. I think the newer models have lift up windows which are much better. My version came with sliding side windows, which are quite annoying to open. It’s endured some tough corrugations and off road tracks.

It looks more aerodynamic too, flush with the cabin roof, so may offer a slight fuel saving, and means the roof racks over the canopy are the same height as those over the cabin. With this style of canopy it gives the car more of a trendy wagon type look to it rather than the more commercial looking styles. This canopy is sleek, looks good and seems strong. It’s not the current sport model and it’s at least a few years old, probably similar age of the car which is a 2007 model. So I have not really looked at anything else, just made do with what I got. The reason I got it – it came with the car. To tour around Australia in a four wheel drive ute usually means you’re going to need a canopy for the tray to provide you with a large protected storage area.
