Canopy/Topper question(s)
I bought a canopy for the truck today after scouring the ads on craigslist to find a fiberglass canopy for less than 400. Not sure of the brand at all, can't seem to find any badging on it except for a metal badge that reads Vista on it with some other info. Didn't look at it that much as it was dark out, but doing a quick Google search, I can't find anything with that brand, so it might have been a retailer. I'll look into it a bit more in the following days.
Need to replace a few things on it, locking handles being that main issue. It has two locking handles, one on either side. One of the lock arms is missing and P.O. didn't have a key. So I'd like to possibly just replace the whole assembly with a new one. Any ideas of where to purchase that?
Another issue, all the seals are in great shape, though the seal that mates with the cab keeps coming loose. Any suggestions on a type of glue to use to help keep it in place?
I'll post a couple pics in the next few days, see if anyone could help identify the make of the canopy, though I'm sure a few companies made similar types.

Or hit an RV or marine/boat shop and ask about locking T-Handles and cams. Several companies make universal sets with about a 4" long bar that you cut down once you get the cams adjusted. You can buy them in a keyed/matched pair so one key opens both.
