Nice canopy mate, i wish i had built mine(if i had the skills) i just wanted to pass on a bit of info. The doors on mine rattle a fair bit when offroad, the guy who built it has made the holes for the looks a little bit big and it does get very annoying...there are tags on each door obviously put there to prevent this but doesnt help enough. The other thing is im not sure what sort of canopy you are putting on but if you are having zips ofset them a bit as mine are constantly getting jammed in the doors when you close them... annoying when both your hands are full and the wifes selective hearing is switched on! but like i said it looks real nice

hay mate yeah thanks for the info i got canvus on it the bloke who did the canvus was realy good the canvus overlaps the door so it doesnt get jamed and i used over center locks so it pulls the door in tight dose not make a sound when closed

canopy..

Good job case84. looks great..

Looks good mate, you got me thinking of swapping locks if I can.

if you can u should then ur doors will not rattle

I was wondering if you could get some pics to show me the inside of your latch and how the locking mechanism works into your frame. I've priced the latches at about $20 each...50mmx100mm, Does that sound about right?

yeah mate that sound's right to me, sent pm to ya

i hope these photos explain a little, i can remove the back plate if i need to. I think they are locks from a system for windows/sliding doors.
You can see the tabs that have been put on the bottom to stop the doors from folding in to far i thought this might be the cause but its definately the locks not holding tight enough i hope the locks you have used will work and get rid of the annoying rattle on those offroad trips

yeah mate the locks i used will get rid of the rattle u have. the locks i used will go on ur frame with a bit of a mod on the doors were ur og lock is u will prob have to make up a plate for the lock to seat in il get pics of mine and show ya mate

Dunno where abouts you are located but if you're ever keen on knocking another up for some good coin let me know!

Looks great!

Michael
