I do not recommend this item. It is exactly what I wanted though. Beautiful! Purchased one new and after 2 1/2 years of use the rubber mounting block for the hinge on the glass door sheared off. Contacted the authorized dealer and they took pictures and contacted ARE. Was told that I would need to replace the entire back glass for $560+. I decided to super glue the rubber back together and see how long it last before I give them another $. Would completely understand if it was a wear item like the gas shocks or the latches but not the mounting block that is manufactured as part of the back glass.

Purchased the topper about 2 1/2 years ago. Pulled my truck out of the garage and heard a pop when I went over the garage edge probably an 1 1/2" lip. Immediately stopped and got out of the truck. Went to see what the noise was. The Glass rear hatch on the topper was hanging. The Hinge mounting block had sheared off right below the mounting studs. Removed the hatch so I could drive my truck without it falling the rest of the way off. Took it in to the authorized dealer. They contacted the company who said it would require a complete new rear hatch. $560+. Can't believe a $2500 topper doesn't last more than a couple years. I am sure it was just a faulty part and not really ARE's fault. The issue is that this is not a wear part and should not fail unless a defect in the part. Warranty is only 1 year so I am left high and dry. I contacted ARE parent company and never received a response back. I have super glued the rubber mounting block back together and will see how long it will last before giving this company any more of my money. Had high hopes. Buyer beware.

We bought an A.R.E. cap for our F 150 King Ranch to protect our extra luggage while traveling and it does a great job of protection. Now that being said, I love the way it looks. The paint is a perfect match for the truck and the styling, I have to look twice to be sure it isn't an Expedition with dark tinted rear windows. We did our homework selecting the best cap we could get and you guys nailed it. For good looks, durability and functionality. Not the cheapest on the market but the best VALUE by far.
