Best Canopies and Prices???
Posted: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 7:06 +0000
I'm looking to purchase a canopy for my 2012 D/C Hilux and I just want to start a thread on advice about best canopies, prices and where people have bought their canopies?

Wow $2k? Where abouts did you get your flexisport for $2k?

My Flexiglass flexisport had shown signs of fading paint at about 4 years old, and by 6 years old it had mostly all cracked, turned yellow and peeled off completely.
Anyway, spoke to the guys at Flexiglass who have just spent 9 days completely stripping it back, full repaint and rebake ... put all the windows, locks, doors, wiring back in ... wiht new seals and rails ... free of charge.
Not bad for a 6 year old unit.
So, to their credit they just earnt some serious customer browny points with me ... and frankly the paint job and finish is actually BETTER than it was from the factory.
It would have taken a fairly heavy amount of hours to strip this thing back.
In short, the factory in thailand, "FLAKE", where they're made, had used crappy non UV stabilised paint. So that was a turn off, but the fact they fixed it is good in my mind.
