I am looking for a replacement roof canopy for my canopy, a 10 ft. x 20
ft. steel frame canopy, P/N 680344 from Costco. The P/N is 2004-D,
14'4"/4.3m x 22'5"/6.8m Polyethylene canopy roof. The manual has a
customer service number of 1-800-929-9517, but when I call it, I get an
ad, or service not available message. Anyone have any luck getting a
replacement roof for this popular canopy ?

Scott, 10 x 20 Canopy parts, including the plastic sides and roofs can be
ordered by calling (909) 628-7888 8:30-4:30 Pacific Standard Time. These
canopies are made in China and are imported by Zhengte USA, a company that
is located in Chino, California. The company does not sell the complete
canopy, such as Costco does, but they do offer replacement parts.

I just ordered a new roof from Zhengte ($95 plus shipping), but after
perusing many other sites that sell canopy roof covers of the same size, I
feel that this one will work since I know it will fit the 2-inch
metal-tube frame since it is an original replacement part. The most
current item number I gave Zhengte was IRM./ART.405094. This is the number
to give the man who answers the phone, unless you can provide a newer item
number. Frankly, it appears that the only change to the original roof
design was the removal of the small tent-like air vents on the top of the
canopy. The roofs are now flat, without the vents on top.

Some of the other companies offered similar sized canopies, but with
either fastening straps or grommets placed farther apart than the original
Coscto roofs. Also, I read the reviews on the other roofs I looked at, and
it was apparent that none of these roof parts seemed to be any better than
the Zhengte roofs.

For those who have not kept the instruction manual, the part number is "M"
for the canopy roof. This is the part number to give to the man at
Zhengte.

I have replaced the roof every 2-3 years. and am due for another
replacement. The entire replacement job should take no more than an hour,
but save your bungees. It helps to have a helper, and a ladder will help.
I think that the company provides new bungees with the new roof, but this
may not be the case as of today (June 5, 2013).
