Just to let you know if you are purchasing an ARB canopy for your ML Triton you can order it with the front sliding window mounted in reverse so the lock is on the outside, that way you can access the canopy from the cab as well as lock and unlock and lock the window.
I went to my local ARB shop and they got the manufacturing guys to try it to see if it would fit and work on the next triton canopy they made and it works fine.
so if you order one and want this feature don't forget to ask.

couple of buckets, every time the boom was over the canopy the water just followed the curves of the canopy into the window, saturated a shit load of drop cloths.

I am having lots of trouble getting ARB (in Vic) to reverse the rear canopy window for me, I have tried head office, Northern and Brighton branchs and all refuse to do this modification. Has anyone had this done in Vic and by who? need to know soon as canopy going on next week.

Well done King. Getting ARB to do anything asked of them proved too difficult for me. In the end I was happy to actually get a canopy
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal labotomy!

It ain't pretty being easy!!
