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

I had a 1995 Toyota T100 with a Leer shell and later moved it to my current 2006 Tundra. The fit was good and painted it to match the color of the truck. Unfortunately during a storm a small tree in my driveway fell on it and damaged it. I was looking for replacement but Leer did not manufacture it any more so I purchased a A.R.E. The A.R.E. shell does not fit properly and was told by a car paint shop it cannot be painted because the paint will peal off. A.R.E. offers no T-tap connection to the Stop/Break light, connecting through the insulation as the dealer recommended is not a good solution. There is no information about the non-standard connector it comes with, the dealer has no clue about electrical connectors and manufacturer has no customer service to ask questions. I needed aluminum shell so that I could easily take it off and put back on.
