I have had a GM/Snugtop canopy on my Avalanche for about three months and it is fabulous. ?I needed more carrying capacity and my panels leaked, so it was the perfect solution for us.
The water seal around the bottom of the canopy is invisible and HUGE. ?Absolutely no water leaks.
The color match is perfect (Victory Red).
The most interesting part is the excitement that the rig incites. ?Folks thought the Avalanche was cool. ?The Avalanche with the Snugtop often gathers crowds of people when I park it. ?They've never seen anything like it and they LOVE it!
Price was $1950. ?The Snugtop was ordered through my GM dealer and delivered to my local Snugtop Distributor. ?The Snugtop Dealer charged me $60 for a flawless, very careful installation.
The canopy installs using existing holes and can be removed easily, with the correct equipment.
Interestingly enough, when I mentioned the Snugtop on this Board, you'd have thought I'd farted in church. ?Apparently, a lot of Avalanche owners mod like crazy, doing things that have no apparent useful purpose, but a canopy is absolutely not an option. ?
A few guys thought it was a good idea, but the silence was profound.
The Snubtop and Bedslide, in my opinion, are the ultimate mods for the Avalanche.
I have some photos posted on PictureTrail (I think the address is
www.picturetrail.com/stevetimm) that shows what the Snugtop really looks like. ?The photo in the GM brochure and on the Snugtop website suck.
Hey, we hunt and we need the extra covered waterproof carrying capacity, ?Our Avalanche/Snugtop is perfect for us. ?And, in the end, that is all that truly matters.
