Canopy recommendations please
« on: January 23, 2019, 08:07:10 AM »
Bought a new pick up and wanted to know what truck canopies you guys are using. I’ve had Leers on my last three trucks and had issues with all of them.

Thanks for reading!

I have the Leer and am actually going in today to see if they can get the leaks stopped

I bought a used, but nearly new, SnugTop canopy, for my Tacoma about five years ago.  I think it's their Rebel model maybe, but whichever model it is it's a fairly basic model and the inside is unlined but the side windows slide and the front window folds down.  I've never had a single issue with it and I'd buy one again.

What's it leaking on? The new fords have a small stepdown behind the cab on the box and if it's not sealed they leak in the front. The other thing is that if its carpet lined inside where the back window closes it will draw the water up into the box.

Toyota tacoma
leaks on each corner front
and left side rear slider,
yes carpeted.
year and half no problems
then canopy world adjusted it before hunting season because one of the corner on the rear lift hatch wouldnt catch right.
They told me last week it wasnt covered, I'm going to have a chat today about that when I take it in.
I searched the toyota tacoma forums and sounds like plenty of others with same issues, I sent a complaint in to Leer also
I have had good luck in the past with leer on my Ford so I put one on the Tacoma
I miss the old Brahmas, never had an issue

I have had 2 "Ranger Riders" and was happy with both.  No leaks one was mounted on a 2000 dodge the 2nd on a 2010 chevy.  Zero issues.  Not sure if they sell them on the coast.  First one was bought at Mieli's in Spokane and one was by Spokane Topper in the valley

I had the same issue on my Tundra. Before that the handles had issues on my ford. Before that the top warped on my 22RE. I’m done giving them money.

I've had a Leer 100xr (I think) on my Chevy for almost 2 years with no troubles. I'd buy another.

Well they resealed the front behind the cabin along the forward bed corners we will see if it works
Good thing was they didn’t charge me any $$$
