 Leaks!

I recently purchased the A.R.E. CX Classic truck 'cap' for my 2017 TRD OR. I got 'windoors' on both sides (one with a slider and one without) and the front folding/removable window. Very disappointed in the product. It leaks so much that I can't build out a permanent camper bed like I had planned. Water leaks from all the rails, and the window weepers (soaked the carpet and all my gear). I spent extra to get the Linex coating (OTR version). I really like the look, but the topper doesn't quite fit my rig. It appears the topper shifted about 1 1/2 inches back and in the process stripped the paint right off my truck bed. I tried re-adjusting it myself, but it still isn't quite right. Now the tailgate scrapes the side of the topper. Also, no quick disconnect for the lights, so I have to remove the hardwire if I ever want to remove the truck cap. WTH!

I had this custom order from a local dealer which was excellent and they called A.R.E. for me while I was a the store and we placed the order together. I only had it for a few days, but so far so good. I love the look as well and I ordered the racks at the time I ordered the Cap. I added several options to the cap as well. It wasn't cheap, but I think it adds value to my truck, versatility of use, so I am very pleased. My only regret is that I didn't order the auto lock that ties into my keys. But, otherwise, very pleased.

The paint on my new cap didn’t match. We sent the gas cap door to ARE and returned the cap for repaint. It still doesn’t match. I’m disappointed at ARE. It took the paint shop six weeks to mismatch the paint again.
