Dust minimization in tub with canopy?

[boostin_7]

I know what you mean mate, i just did a fishing trip down some very powdery dirt roads & my flexisport was filled with it.
Never had a problem with my old ARB canopy which had a very small hole in the front sliding window to pressurize the canopy.

I have thought about opeing the window slightly but there is just no way to stop it rattling around and smashing etc. The sliding window would have been handy. I've worked out I can cut the wire and add more length to it. This will allow me to stick the vent in the middle of the canopy. Will have to be a job for next weekend

Install one of these ?

From ARB fro around $40

Open it when driving and the air inlet pressure should in theory pressurise the canopy?

I've got one, haven't tested it yet as my tailgate seal does the trick really well

Can't you re route the wire to fit the vent.
Dust will still get in there as it will enter above the rear wheel wells. I get a bit of water trickling in when the roads are wet and it comes in at the front corners of the tub.
My canopy is an ARB but the tubs are the same.

I went to my local fixing store and bought a 90degree silicone nozzle and pumped the front corners of ,y tub with silicone never had anything come in through there,
To make sure you got it all, use black ( lick your finger and push it in and smooth it over) and get someone with a torch to shine down there from the outside in the afternoon to see if there's any holes from the inside

I'm considering getting a glass drill bit & having a 'crack' at putting a hole in it

Wouldn't do that
They are toughened panels
