What about the free roofrails?

They still owe you them!!!!
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

I actually thought they were going to have a crack at keeping our deposit with some excuse!

Slam lock back door which is connected to central locking. I've got a slider on one side and flip on the other.  I've heard these used to be/still are rebadged as Razorback canopies?  Sammitr are the actual company that manufacture them.  Mine was supplied/fitted by Opposite Lock.  They may also be supplied by Ironman dealers as well.

Thanks for the info Jasjul.

Looks good on the Mazda! Might try and get into Opposite Lock and make some inquiries one day when work doesn't get in the way of important things!

How is the vision out of the canopy? We fitted up a reverse camera when we ordered out Razorback as a "just in case" to help with the vision. Now we don't have a canopy its just a bonus.

The vision isn't great, but probably no worse than a Prado/Pajero with the spare tyre on the back door.  I also have a reverse camera.

So on the recommendation of Jasjul I contacted Opposite Lock. I place the order and paid the deposit for a SMM canopy. They had one in stock that needs to be painted in our colour and then fitted.They believe the whole process should take about 2 to 3 weeks (a lot shorter than the 7 weeks from Razorback!)

So fingers crossed we will have a canopy before Christmas! (Hope you like the present dear  ;D ;D)

Got a call from Opposite lock Dandenong yesterday. The ute is booked in for the 4th to get the canopy fitted. So 3 weeks from order, slightly better than Razorback!
