Do I need a specific canopy for my truck model?
Yes, canopies are designed to fit specific truck makes, models, and bed sizes.
Can I install the canopy myself, or do I need professional help?
Yes. Every canopy will come with a DIY fitment guide. But we also have qualified fitment partners available. Please see our fitment center page for the list of centers.
Do I need to drill holes in my truck bed?
Armour Caps canopies are designed for a no-drill installation, meaning they mount securely using the existing factory mounting points on your truck. This ensures a strong, reliable fit without the need for permanent modifications.
Can I use my truck’s tailgate with the canopy installed?
Our Armour Caps canopies are designed to work seamlessly with your truck’s tailgate. The rear door of the canopy is engineered to align perfectly, allowing full use of your tailgate without any interference.
Will the canopy affect my truck’s fuel efficiency?
Adding a canopy to your truck may have a slight impact on fuel efficiency, but the effect is minimal and often depends on your driving habits, vehicle model, and overall load.
Armour Caps canopies are aerodynamically designed to reduce wind resistance as much as possible, helping to minimize any drag that could affect fuel consumption. In some cases, a canopy can even improve aerodynamics by reducing turbulence in the truck bed, especially at highway speeds.
Can I get a canopy with windows?
Yes we have an added option for side sliding windows.
Can I install my own roof rack on my truck canopy?
Armour Caps canopies are designed with a high dynamic load capacity and feature a versatile T-slot mounting system, making it easy to install a roof rack that suits your needs. Whether you need extra space for camping gear, kayaks, bikes, or work equipment, our canopies are built to handle the load securely.
If you already have a preferred roof rack system, it can likely be mounted onto the canopy with minimal modifications. However, we recommend checking the weight capacity and compatibility to ensure a safe and sturdy setup. If you need guidance, feel free to reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to assist with recommendations!
Are canopies water-resistant?
Yes, Armour Caps canopies are designed to be highly weather-resistant, keeping your truck bed and gear protected from rain, dust, and harsh conditions.
Our canopies feature:
Our canopies feature:
- Precision-Sealed Edges – Designed to prevent water from seeping in, even in heavy downpours.
- Concealed Hinges & Bonded Windows – Reduces potential leak points for added protection.
- Positive Pressure Air Vent – Helps keep dust and moisture out by maintaining airflow balance.
- Heavy-Duty Rubber Seals – Around all openings to provide a tight, secure fit against the elements.
While no canopy can be 100% waterproof under extreme conditions, Armour Caps canopies are engineered to offer maximum weather protection, ensuring your gear stays dry and secure in most environments. For the best results, proper installation and regular maintenance of seals and gaskets are recommended.

Cleaning Your Canopy
Cleaning Your Canopy
- Regular Washing: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge to remove dirt, dust, and grime.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or acidic solutions, as they can damage the powder coating and stainless steel finish.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse with clean water to remove any residue and prevent water spots.
- Dry with a Microfiber Cloth: To maintain a streak-free shine, dry your canopy with a microfiber cloth or chamois.
Can I remove the canopy when I don’t need it?
Yes, you can!
Armour Caps canopies are designed to be removable, allowing you to take them off when not in use. Since our canopies use a no-drill, clamp-on mounting system, removal is straightforward and does not leave any permanent modifications on your truck bed.

How to Remove Your Canopy:
- Gather Help – Due to the weight (starting at 165 lbs / 75 kg), it’s best to have at least one other person to assist with lifting.
- Loosen the Clamps – Carefully release the mounting clamps securing the canopy to your truck bed.
- Disconnect Any Wiring – If your canopy includes an LED brake light, unplug the wiring before removal.
- Lift & Store Safely – Gently lift the canopy off the truck and store it on a flat, padded surface or a dedicated canopy rack to prevent damage.
When you’re ready to re-install, simply clamp it back on, reconnect wiring if applicable, and you’re good to go! Our secure mounting system ensures that removal and reinstallation are quick and hassle-free.
💡 Pro Tip: If you plan to remove your canopy frequently, consider using quick-release clamps or a pulley system in your garage to make the process even easier.
