Product Reviews : A.R.E. Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers

No cap is inexpensive these days but for a $2,700 product you expect some more Quality control and better fitment. I have a unibody Ford Maverick so fitment is not easy and sealing the cap isn't either but a few things could have helped. I believe the corners curl up too early and should have a flatter section like the top rail sections, I had to add extra foam to build down (and up) the corners to make better contact.I believe the cap sides that attached to the bed rails are actually slightly arced up in the middle, but the bed rails are flat... Also I had to drive 120 miles round trip back to my installer because the wrong wiring diagram was given to them and the lights didn't work correctly. They also attempted to better seal the cap for me but didn't have a much better outcome. Also, I see moisture stuck in the 3rd brake light which I'm concerned about. I had to tighten some screws on the windows that weren't tightened all the way and the front window leaked and filled up with water in the moulding and spilled over into the truck bed and soaked the carpeting of the entire rim around the bed cap. I added a small strip of weather striping foam to hopefully fix this issue. I would recommend this cap for the price especially compared to the Ford purchased cap from snugtop, but I was expecting a little better workmanship on the windows and providing the correct information to the dealer on wiring. I understand installation cannot guarantee a weathertight seal, but a leaking window due to bad gasket install should not happen.
