Gonna get either a roller shutter or mountain top cover for my dmax rather than my canopy I have now. Which do people find the best and most handy ?

Mountain top more reliable and ok to put stuff on.cant see the point of roller top,and they leak

They reckon you can get some roller tops that are waterproof? And I guess with a roller top you can roll it back for putting big stuff in

Feed rep I used to work with had a roll top on his Ford ranger. Put a tonne pallet of feed in the back and put it over the weighbridge. The back axle loading was far higher than the legal limit due to not being able to push the pallet far enough forward because of the roll top.

That is the downside to them, but saying that i can get a bag of feed 500kg in my L200 and shut the back door but thats about it, handy for locking chainsaw or tools away and out of site. I do think the roll top is smarter than the mountain top.

Manual mountain top , leaks everywhere, only year old , changed from electric one because it kept stopping/jamming , any one recommend the best waterproof/watertight roller cover ?
