I would have liked an Ironman. They are the latest technology, fully moulded plastic and very reasonably priced. Alas, not available for the Courier so I settled for a Flexiglass.
Flexiglass is at the value end of the market and has been great so far.
Whatever you buy, make sure you get the lift up windows as opposed to sliding.

Some years back, we had a Rodeo twin cab. ( 1989 model )
Go for an ARB cannopy,,To say they are nothing short of brilliant, would be to put them down..
They are ( were the best )
Fiberglass will crack, and corrugations will enhance that no en,, but those ARB used to be made from some type of vinyl, and will take everything you can dish out to them, and then more..
This is an unpaid appraisal of a truly gr8 product ( heheehe )
Probably a tad dearer, but worth it !
Cheers
Bucky

I have a genuine nissan canopy... possibly TJM?? Depends on what your looking for, general tub cover or heavy duty off road.
Mine is just for the dogs and occasional camping gear or stuff in the back.
couple of things to look for and these are the options
mine has..
1. Lift up side window... very handy for loading.
2. front window is Angled & Folds down ... excellent for cleaning both outside of front window & rear windscreen. The angle stops the light reflecting between the two enabling you to see out at night apparently.
3. flyscreen on the other side sliding.. if desperate you can sleep in it (done that) and it keeps the puppies in or march flies out!!.
4. high mount stop light and interior light.. handy!
5. colour coded.
6. tinted windows... matches the car then
It is fibreglass and seems a tad flimsy but I'm not off road heaps and it has a low roof line which I thiought looks nicer.
I picked up a factory second for $1200 fitted... does the trick for me.
Good luck searching!!
