The name of the company that does this is called Allen Jim and Son. They are in Moorabbin VIC call em on 9555 3747. I know they do a sliding canopy for my trays so I cant imagine why they wouldnt be able help you out with a removable canvas canopy or atleast point you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model for the Table Top Utes (see above - fits all trays from 2200-2400mm long by 1700-1900mm wide). NOTE: These Tents are for Tray backs only, they do not fit Dual Cabs.These Tents come in a compact pouch that will fit behind your Ute seat. They have a full built-in floor, so if you are setting up in a wet Ute the inside of the tent remains dry. There are four windows, each with a zip shutter and fly screens. The D shaped door also zips shut and also has it's own fly screen. When the weather is wet there is a fly cover to go over the whole structure (see above left), but when the weather is good the Tent can remain uncovered (above right).This is USA's top selling pickup truck Tent which has been specially manufactured to fit Aussie Utes…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
