I was quoted $2,000 for the canopy with the hole cut for the sliding window and sliding window included. But $2,000 for freight and customs. Total of $4,000.
I would be interested in bundling 3-4 canopies into one box to save on freight. I am talking ASW19-20 canopies here. Having installed 3 canopies so far and tried the blown canopies. I would strongly encourage interested parties to go with the factory molded ones. The blown canopies just don’t look right and don’t fit well. |

Having installed a fair number of factory (Mecaplex) canopies and half a dozen aftermarket (Thermotec, the guys in SoCal) and a homemade unit) , I believe Hanks is spot-on. And the results of aftermarket canopies have been very unsatisfying. I would decline to install aftermarket unit today.
The Mecaplex units are stunning in their fit and optics. I bought an AS-W12 canopy 20+ years after production of the ship ceased and it was perfect. Such service deserves our support. Could you reduce the shipping on a current manufacture by ordering from the dealer? They could ship it in one of their container loads. |
