Flexiglass tray top canopy -Hilux

Hey Josh,
We sell and fit the flexiglass product. There trays are quite good, in fact i think they are one of the better mass produced trays on the market.

How ever, if your heart is set on an ama tray then do it. We have fitted f/glass tray top canopies to other branded trays up to 20mm narrower than a f/glass tray.
The base rail or the canopy is about 50mm wide so it does allow for a bit of leigh way.
As for dust proofing... F/glass will not even guaruntee the product to be water proof. They do have an optional roof vent which can face forward to pressurise the canopy, but the will obviously let dusty air in if your driving in dust.

I swear by the forward facing vents. They most certainly keep out more dust than they let in.
I've had 3 flexiglass canopies and a couple of other brands as well. Pricing is about right for performance. If you want to pay $3-4k you'll get a good one. Flexi is o.k., but I modify mine when they are new to be fit for purpose.
1. if you get the h.d. rack system, drill the threaded rod and frame and insert a split pin otherwise the screws will self adjust, put weight in the canopy and crack it.
2. the pop rivet and hook arrangement that holds the canopy down will fail if using the racks. Upgrade it.
3. Buy a couple of lock tumblers and keep them in the glovebox - they also fail at the worst possible time.

They above is probably only relevent if touring on outback tracks. Flexiglass isn't alone here, it's just the nature of the design of glass canopies - I've had other brands do similar things, but I keep getting glass canopies.
Probably the most important thing is to get side opening windows. They are exxy but worth it.

Thank you both very much for your replies!

Thanks for the handy info mate, I intend on using it to sleep in the back of and keep my gear out of the weather on trips. This is why getting on top of the dust issue is important to me.
You say to get a good one you need to drop 3-4k, I would rather not lol but what are the other 'brands' / 'companies' who make these higher end canopies?

Btw don't worry about tue typo's, I didnt notice and I'm just grateful to get the advice =) lol
Thanks again guys!
