The worst camper shell company I have ever dealt with. From dealership and Manufacturer just lacked any confidence in producing and servicing their products. 1) Leaked bad. Dings scratches chips all included with delivery. Attitude from dealership and manufacturer. Blame customer for their mistakes. Last A.R.E. Product I will purchase and pass on to everyone I know and don’t know not to buy this product. Yes they don’t tell you does not fit well on 2nd Gen tacomas because of the dip in the front of the truck bed. Huge gap they use a lot of silicone and big rubber padding.

I have a brand new ARE truck cap that leaked from day one. Sent request for help getting the issue resolved and they said someone would get a hold of me , which after 2 weeks I have yet to hear from anyone . Customer service is terrible. This was my 5 th ARE cap will probably be my last. I cant use this cap to carry anything under that I don't want to get wet.

Shell came with a large chip. Fiberglass dust all in the windows. Leaky front window a lot because of all the rain in California now. Back window offset so does not fit like a glove and does not sit on the tailgate at all. Keys lost from manufacturer which I had to pay to replace. Bad installation of the carpet. Seams all coming up. The shell sits about 1/2 inch away from bed of truck like it was measured for a different model Installation of wiring were bare wire which I had to repair at 2 weeks old which all of this has occurred. Dealer just blew me off. I will never purchase a product from A.R.E ever again. $4000.00+ for a piece of junk.
