 Good, but not perfect

After having owned LEER and Snugtop shells, I found this product to have generally good build quality, with one serious flaw. I ordered mine with pet screens, and really like them. The airflow through the shell is great with the big side slider windows open and the front window of the shell open. On my unit, however, one of the latch cables was not properly fastened during manufacturing. It slipped, leaving my shell locked with no way to open it. It caused me a lot of problems over the weekend it had it out. Not the quality I expected from this product price point. Otherwise it’s a very good looking design, and nicely finished. This cap leaks badly- Honda failed on the detailed design of the front corners of the Gen 2 Ridgeline bed, and A.R.E. didn’t compensate for the problem with this cap design.

 Great Product - Extremely Poor Dealer Service

Spent months researching which brand of topper to purchase. ARE was the best for many reasons. Picked a dealer and had a positive purchase and installation experience. Told by the dealer that if we had any problems, just return to us and we'll fix it. First heavy rain and the topper seal leaked heavily. Returned to dealer for warranty fix and was quizzed extensively on where it was leaking from, then once repair was complete the work order stated "No canopy will be completely water tight". Not a helpful comment. Indicative that the dealer was far from understanding and suggests that I was an inconvenience. ARE should consider reviewing its dealer network for customer service and warranty more closely.

When I ordered my top I was told it would be in 6 to 8 weeks. It came in in 10 weeks. the big problem was that ARE did not send the clips to mount the top. Which to me was a big screw up. they would drop ship them in 5 days. I am leaving in 2 days for 2 weeks. Need top to cover my tools. Thanks to See Mor they borrowed clips from another customers top. This is my second ARE top. I understand the times that we are in are very trying. But no clips is a MAJOR screw up.
