the yellow is awesome, go real slow putting the 4 grommets in, and use a small bit of 90% pure silicone grease on them, so the pins will pop on easy.
The canopy looks very nice, fits ok, but there are weak points. It cracks very easily at the sides at the "V" shape angle during removal. This happen on two canopies so far, My solution was to put down a layer of fiberglass at the V shape joints That seems to fix the problem. Align, if you are listening, this can be done easily at the factory.
Very visible, easy to see. Poor fit.
Reviewers generally find the painted canopy visually attractive, with one describing the yellow finish as very appealing. Fit is described as acceptable by one owner and poor by another. Installation advice centres on inserting the four grommets slowly and lubricating them with a small amount of silicone grease so the pins seat easily. A recurring problem is cracking at the side V-shaped joints during removal, reported on two canopies by one owner, who reinforced the area with fiberglass. Reviews are few and come from a small number of owners, so the picture is limited.
