A universal mount for installing a canopy onto work vehicle ROPS (roll bars) that have left and right downward extensions and a bridging element between the left and right downward extensions. A clamp secures the universal mount onto a ROPS, and a crossbar attached to the clamp extends parallel to the bridging element. The crossbar has plates on each opposed end. Each crossbar plate has at least one slot adapted to receive a fastener. Offset plates can be mounted to a peripheral frame of a canopy. The universal mount can be clamped to a ROPS. The canopy fastens to the crossbar by aligning holes on the offset plates affixed to the canopy with the slots in the crossbar plates, passing fasteners through the aligned hole and slot, adjusting the canopy attitude to a desired orientation by positioning fasteners at a selected position in the slots.
