Not happy.
All seals are stuffed. They are just disintergrating where they are exposed to the sun.
The gel coat seems to have a clear coat over it and that is breaking down. Looks crap on a white vehicle as dirt gets under it and it stands out.
Inside rear door mech keeps falling apart. About to replace that for the second time and will locktite everything up before install. Very expensive parts wise.
Side windows have never been close to looking like being waterproof, even when newish.
I have seen 3 other alpha canopies exibiting the same issues as the first 2 listed. 1 white, 2 grey Seems to be common issues.
Would not recommend or purchase.
I too am very disappointed in my Alpha canopy. Window seals perished not long out of warranty and I replaced them myself as the price quoted by Caddy was exorbitant. The clear coat has broken down and looks crap. Rear lock is on its way out.
