VE SSV Series II and Carryboy...

[scratchy]

Howdy folks, This is my first post here but iv been lurking around for a while now, grats on a bustling, helpful forum! As the title says, im thinking of buying a carryboy canopy for my ute, (link posted at bottom) I was after some experience stories from others out there, has anyone bought one? or can you think of any other options? budget is 3-4k.

looking forward to your replies!

I have a carryboy on my VEII ute, I got it off ebay and saved about 2K.

The seal carryboy use on the roof is rubbish, I stuck some extra 4mm foam tape on the roof of the car and on the canopy its self. Also put two small squares of tape in the indent on the roof for a better seal. The trick with the foam tape is to have the non stick sides touching as it seals better and the canopy can be removed with ease. I also fitted some clear 3M protective tape on my paint work over the roof.

After a few mods very happy with my non leaky canopy, I think the leaking was the reason it was on ebay in the first place.

allways wanted the carryboy as I like the smooth finish and dont look too bulky. Glass seals are good by the way.
