Are you just after a sun shade? If so there should be one as I have one on a Vermont L. It's not great as a sun shade but I expect very helpful if it's raining.

Maybe I should ebay mine.
No that's not happening, I can see the value in having it.

Vermont XL If you can find an front extension that is 480cm wide then im sure you can adapt it to fit good luck in finding one especially if its got to be green. If you just want to shelter the front door from the rain then the Montana sun canopy can be adapted to fit.

Vermont L. All the Montana 6 extensions, Canopies etc will fit

Hope the image works -

This is my Vermont XL with my "new" Ebay Montana 6 Canopy. The fit isn't perfect, but it's not bad, and it stood up well to some bracing Scarborough winds. It does a corking job of keeping the rain (and occasional sun) out of the kitchen with the front door fully open.

HTH, John.
