A bakkie’s canopy is a vital and indispensable part of the vehicle it covers, and ensuring that your canopy receives the highest standard of maintenance and aftercare can be a tiresome task. With these guidelines however, we can bust that myth.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Attending to your own canopy shouldn’t be a bothersome task you try to avoid, but rather something that makes you proud of your vehicle.
Avoid harsh chemicals that strip and the gel coating and fiberglass, and opt for vehicle soap and polish. Bakkies are used for what they are made for – bundu bashing, long hauls through the dust, and heavy loads – and often dirt can become embedded in the canopy. All of this can be removed and cleaned with a pressure washer. Having your canopy polished will also prolong the start of stains that occur over time.
Oiling the locking devices can assure they operate with ease, while checking the hinges can advise you when they need to be replaced.
The majority of canopies come with a warranty, and this can vary from brand to brand. However, understanding the terms and conditions attached to your purchase can be a lifesaver should something happen.
A canopy is an added investment that you make to your vehicle.
