We have decided to bite the bullet and purchase a canopy for our 2009 Nissan dual cab STR ute and I have sourced a few prices as follows:
UteMart $1745 fitted (have to wait until March next year - ordered from overseas)
ARB $1943 fitted
Genuine Nissan $2800 (trade price unfitted )
Flexiglass $1995 fitted
TJM $2085 fitted
Any preferences/comments (except Nissan ) as to which brand is better?
Any other brands which I have not considered?

Try calling wreckers might find one alot cheaper with lights and accessories from the previous owners.

I'll be looking for a canopy shortly as
well, for my Navara STX D40 dual cab... I had 3XM Canopies recommended to me (made in Geebung in
Brisbane I believe) but I haven't got prices yet. Might be worth a look.

Give these guys a call as they often have undamaged ones.

Jazzy,
As a tip, while you are in the research stage, we initially had sliding windows to each side of the canopy, but after a couple of trips found that didn't work
well.
We then had a lift up window fitted to the lhs, and retained the sliding window to the rhs. This now works
well, and I like that set up as we can allow some ventilation to the load area when required, as
well as ease of access to lhs. (Retro-fitting windows is expensive)
Our canopy is a Flexiglass, no problems to date, 5yrs and 158,000kms.
Hope this is of interest.
Rob.
