Obieco canopy repair,

[jbonez]

Well,

I just finished fitting a 3" exhaust to my ex telstra rig, stupidly left the passenger canopy door up, connected with a tree and door is very out of shape and fallen off.

I guess it will be more than my excess $600 to fix so I am going to go through insurance, can anybody point me in the right direction to who I need to see for a quote in the brisbane area?

I realise obieco is in tamworth but surely one of the big tray manufacturers or a dealer could do the job.

exhaust sounds awesome so thats a plus but my day could of gone better!

thanks.

Can you buy a new door and fibreglass the cabin section,
can you post some pics?
You might need a micro switch and a LED light in the cabin to alert you if a door is open

The body is fine it has a sacrificial plastic hinge that snaps instead of the body

All the warning stickers in the world couldn't help me this afternoon.

thats not too bad IMO as its not "creased" badly only bent,
I'd gently try and hammer it straight and grab a can paint
to touch up.
I think you could save that door

[jbonez]

Its bent top and bottom and its pretty solid to manipulate.

[threedogs]

nice big 6" vice on a solid bench will help,
or a big anvil to tap it back in shape.
very doable with the right gear IMO
How is outer skin held on I cant see and pop rivets

Just ring obieco and ask them how much to get a new door sent to brisy with new hinges.

Yes, I wouldn't waste my time fixing that door. Get on the blower to Obieco and let the insurance company foot the bill.

When I bought mine (Rossco body) the pod door alarms would go off on virtually every corner, & I came close to removing them altogether, but before I did so I had a close shave after driving off with one of the doors open, so instead I adjusted the switches for the alarm. Glad I did, impossible to drive off with doors open now, with a buzzer screaming at me & a red light showing on the dash.
