Its got a Carry Boy canopy on it which I dare say ill pull off. Ive got a dog which ill be carting around in it, but I wanted to get a hard lid for the tray. I was thinking, it would be good if they came with some sort of hatch setup so that my dog could get in the back and stick his head out the hatch. Otherwise I was thinkin of doin a chop job myself.... I think also when the canopy was fitted a bead of sealant was applied to the top of the ute liner.. So hopefully I can get most of it off, otherwise I mite need to replace the entire ute linerAnyone seen any lids with hatches? This is the ute with the carryboy on it... I checked prices of these things and they are like $3500.....

Im guessing your talking bout the black rails on top of the canopy? I dunno, I doubt it...I think it looks ok with the canopy, but dosnt look like a sports ute, more like a practical ute...
