I have installed the Nissan canopy wiring harness ($40 from Nissan). EGR (Nissan plastic canopies) apparently have a 150kg roof rack/support kit available generic design with large gaps at top corners of tail gate around seal installs by drilling and bolting to the tub – others have clip on fasteners (could be a pro as it may keep the canopy on better with a tinny on the top). ARB wont’ recommend or fit boat loaders to the canopy (but say many people fit them – as lots do from reading on other forums…).
Roof racks for flexiglass canopy install#
canopy roof rails and cross bars are a permanent install when fitting roof racks – with other canopies you can at least take the cross bars off and are left with better looking rails.
boxy & boring design – it may be a practical canopy but it’s not as slick looking as others dual locks on each window (I’ve gone lift up all round) – would seem easier with one slam lock to operate. 100kg load rating with two cross bars due to internal supports fastened to the tub. should be lighter than fibreglass and steel canopies due to ABS/plastic I reckon Nissan and Carry Boy are overpriced. cheaper (in FNQ anyway) as transport for me killed other options.
less cash outlay if you don’t need canopy roof racks (costs about the same as others when you add roof racks to the equation). more of a vertical rear door/glass (compared to some) means slightly more storage volume (did read on read online somewhere that big cargo drawers and extra- large fridges on slides may need to be set back a little more so the fridge, or other equipment, doesn’t foul with canopy glass on those nice looking raked back/curved glass windows). I ended up ordering with an ARB canopy last week only due to future plans to put a tinny / boat loader on the roof when touring… If this wasn’t part of the equation I would have gone a genuine Nissan canopy as I think they look the best with the way they sit/overlap the tub rails which makes them look more SUV/Wagon like instead of a dual cab with a canopy. Hi Leesy, just been through the same dilemma – which canopy is best one for me …
