![]() ![]() ![]() I have them on my Flexiglass canopy on my Rodeo and makes ease of accessing gear from the side without having to climb to the back. FLEXIGLASS CANOPIES PRICE WINDOWSYou'll pay extra for the canopy roof bars and lift up side windows of course but they are sure worth it. I meticulously inspected the whole get up and I reckon it's really well made. My boss has a Flexiglass on his new 05 DC Hilux IMO the ARB and Flexiglass suit what you want and have the features and strength too. Thursday, at 21:21 Well Beddo, plenty of food for thought so far eh? We don't have roof racks on any of our canopies. I also put my 80L Waeco behind it so I can access it from the side and not get in the way when accessing the ute through the tailgate. I have one on the passenger side on my Rodeo. The tradesman's windows are worth every cent when you have the ute fully packed and want something from the front. ![]() One thing ARB reckoned was that their plastic canopy had no smell. Also there is no seal to stuff up later on. I reckon the IFP looks heaps better than the riveted in one. However the Raider canopy on our F250 is fibreglass yet it also has the integrated front panel. They told me when I was shopping around for a canopy for my Rodeo that ARB could do the integrated front panel as it is plastic and you can't do it with fibreglass. I think the Raider and ARB design which has a canopy with an integrated front panel is better than the TJM and Flexiglass design which has a riveted in extra panel. I crossed Carryboy off the list as it didn't have a high roof model or lift up sides. I didn't get a Flexiglass as I preferred the ARB look and design. Never used a Flexiglass canopy or Carryboy although I looked at them. However with the velcro it sits a little higher and I haven't had a problem with hitting it. I used velcro to put it back on so if I pulled it off I could just stick it back on. I broke the bracket when a bag caught on it that I was getting out of the ute. Also the brake light is in an easy to break spot. ARB replaced the whole door under warranty. I have had only one problem in 2 years and that was the rear window glass (I have the newer frameless glass) slipped from its hinge clamp (will know what I mean if you look at one). ARB has an extremely strong bracketed channel design you will have to look at as I can't explain it. Dodgy as hell easy removal system with riveted brackets onto tray and then bolts with wing nuts. Was held on by 1 bolt when he noticed it. Hence the new rear doors we had.Ī friends TJM canopy on a Hilux almost fell off. Also with the TJM you could open the tailgate even with the canopy window closed and locked. Even imported from Canada it was the same price as TJM but it is 4000% better and looks 5000% better. The Raider is imported from Canada to replace the TJM canopy (Canadian for a F250). We never paid anything so only loss was a lot of time and angst. So we drove to their workshop and told them they could take it back. After about 3 months we still hadn't paid as we said we would pay when it was fixed. They replaced the back door three times in a couple of weeks. Thursday, at 17:53So far we have had TJM, ARB and Raider. If I had my time again, I would have a carryboy, no questions. Lastly, the Carry boys look much better than the Flexi glass canopies. The flexiglass roof rack isn't removable without removing the bolts and plugging the holes. FLEXIGLASS CANOPIES PRICE FULLPut a roof bar on the carry boy, and the roof of the Hilux, and you have a full length roof rack, which is removable. The Carryboy supports 150kg standard I believe, as it has the internal support built in. They fixed it for me, but it isn't the same as it was when new. I also had the misfortune of catching the handles on the garage door and breaking them off, and bending the back window. I pop riverted the catch back on, but for $80 fitted, it is a pretty cheap shoddy vent. I put a flip up pressure vent on mine, what a pain, its very hard to get open, then at Camerons Corner the stupid catch breaks off trying to open it, so it is now permanently open, thankfully it didn't rain till I fixed it. The Carry boy has nice gutters to stop this. When the back window is up and raining, it leaks the rain into the canopy. You can shut a carry boy by pushing it shut, it catches automatically, not requiring you to do up the two handles. ![]() Thursday, at 17:17Have you done the sums including the roof racks and lift up windows on the flexi glass versus the carry boy?Īlso the carry boy has one handle, versus two on the Flexiglass and others. ![]()
