Wanting to fit a canopy to my Patrol ute. Purpose - towing a van and "doing the lap around oz" and having trouble making up my mind. Am told canvas sides keep out the dust, don't rattle and are cheaper but can't be secured if leaving the rig unattended. The hard walled ie Tosca type can be secured but may rattle and are expensive. Anybody out there with any experience to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

had a hard top on a bravo
it was able to twist a little allowing side catches on back lift up to come loose...lost some gear and a couple bags of clothing out the back going up a steep very rough track......fortunately it didnt take us too long to find out we had missing cargo and we were able to go back and get said belongings
ARB came good with some recompense...always used a rope from roof rack to tow bar after this...never happened again...while the rope was in place..and was not game to not use it on rough roads

Canvas Look’s better, go for the looks!!!! LOL
Seriously I think the canvas is the better option, you can also easily remove it if needed, keep the sides up if you have 2 or 3 people sitting in the back when driving out bush, on a
farm or whatever, it has more of a open aria when it’ open to unload/ load equipment, will look cleaner and will not scratch.
