I drive a Vigo Hilux (Legend40) with a Carryboy canopy from SA Canopy.
I'm really struggling to take the canopy off the bakkie as the front end (closest to the cab) is curved. The bottom curve of the canopy is prohibited from moving anything higher than the lower end of the rear sliding window as the cab's sliding window is built out of the cab by around an inch or so.
Can anybody please give me advise on how to get the canopy off?
Thanks
Ferdinand

Re: Guidelines required to remove canopy
you probably have to loosen your roll bar to remove the canopy. This will allow you to slide it backwards

Re: Guidelines required to remove canopy
Thanks Cassie! Is it possible to remove the roll bar with the canopy still on the back?

My logika sê vir my dit moet wees anders sou hulle nie die canopy kon vas kry nie.AllTerrain wrote:Thanks Cassie! Is it possible to remove the roll bar with the canopy still on the back?

Re: Guidelines required to remove canopy
Dankie aan almal vir die raad...
So ek praat toe met die dealer wat die tonneau cover opgesit het (hulle moes die canopy afhaal om dit te doen).Hy sê hulle het destyds 4 ouens gehad om die canopy af te tel...
Wat ek wel gaan probeer doen is om die rollbar agtertoe te skuif en dan die canopy...sal dit dan maklik kan ophys met my canopy hoist...
Sal probeer om foto's op te sit wanneer ek by die joppie uitkom :-)
