On dealer's recommendation I went with the Flexiglass canopy rather than genuine VW. What a mistake, I saw the Flexiglass canopy on Amarok when fitting the RVC 10 days ago and was warned about the quality and poor workmanship from the Adelaide's installer. So, I've paid them a visit 2 days ago, letting them know that I'll be connecting the wiring. Well, all they had to do was to attach the canopy, which they did this morning, plus managed to make a couple of scratches. Hopefully they will polish out.

So, if you're ordering a new Amarok, consider a genuine VW canopy.
Since the Flexiglass is not very nicely finished at all.http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2014/02/sybe3y5u-1.jpg

Bummer :(

Looks good from a distance though.

The carry boy canopies look good too although I'm not overly impressed with the way they scotch lock into the wiring.
