I WAS advised that the colour matching (about $250 from memory) was NOT going to be perfect. As much as i love my Razorback now i could not go through that saga again. I chose the EGR for the MN because my wife liked the look of it the best (her car) you could add internal roll cage/roof rack supports and their ABS materials was the thickest on the market. Ultimately Auburn Canopies were good about it and EGR supported their product - but NOT about the colour. They replaced it because the rear window would not lock (they have changed the locking system now apparently) and two of the other windows either were really hard to open or would work their way open driving around. I also used Auburn canopies in Sydney.įirstly i had the canopy completely replaced by them, but they didn't do it because of the colour issue, I'll get to that. I've found them extremely helpful and knowledgeable, they've been doing canopies for 20 yrs. Id be ringing auburn canopies and speak to them about what you'd be expecting. Check if canopy is on straight, is properly sealed around where it connects to tub and has enough clearance around where it meets the cabin roof. Sounds like a botchy job mate, would be good to check to see if they've sealed/primed/painted the back metal head board where they've cut it off, otherwise it'll start to rust. If ya not happy send it back and get another one or get them to pay to send it to a paint shop and get professional done. They should have advised and informed you before hand what to expect (depends how bad it is). He said it Can be worse for pearl based paints. (And i like you when parting with my hard earned want what I've paid for) was advised that a lot of the Canopy manufacturers arent geared up to match the colour exactly unless it went to a panel beaters and got colour matched (by i assume a colour specialist). i was impressed with EGRs std white it matches almost the same as the tub. Ive got an white egr, the guys at auburn canopies steered me away from getting it colour matched as they said it never turns out the same.

I cannot express enough how disappointed I am, and just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth as I drove away. My keys for the canopy (has central locking) doesn't even work with the barrel keyway for the lift up window. Third as I got home I noticed the tub was filled with grinding dust from the headboard being chopped off, which almost leads me to think if they actually bothered covering the cab as they grinded away. Did anyone have similar issues with this? I understand it's hard to comment on this since there's no picture, but believe me when I say that there's definitely a difference. Now I understand that it's not going to be perfect but with the tub and canopy sitting on top you can tell that it's way off, (It's storming out as I picked up the ute so I couldn't get picture of it, I'll try first thing in the Morning soon as the weather permits, now mind you it was dark out when I picked it up and yet I was able to tell the discoloration from 20 Metres away. Secondly, the color did not match the vehicle whatsoever. I've got a 2015 MN GLX+ in white, after a bit of research in the forums I was quite happy to purchase myself an ALPHA GSE Canopy with Lift up windows, I asked the salesman if it was possible to install a sliding window on the driver's side if possible for my Canine friends and said yes that it was an option, Dropped off my vehicle first thing in the morning to get it installed today.Īs I arrived to the establishment to pickup my Ute there was two things that I instantly noticed that was wrong, Firstly they've installed the windows on the wrong side of the cab, Sliding should be RH and lift up LH but got it the other way around, honest mistake I guess since I know that they can rectify that next time. I hope someone will be able to assist me with a grief that is currently enveloping my state of mindĪny type of comment and suggestions be positive or negative will be appreciated by me.
