Maverick ARE Cap

[CACTI_HYBRID]

Take a gigantic bicycle inner tube, fit it between the topper and the truck. Air it up for a great seal. Another option is to form a trough between the cab and the topper. Only options to stop leaking in the front. Nowhere for the water to go other than inside, no matter how much a seal you put between the bed and topper.

Except over time the rubbing of the "gasket," if you wanna call it that, will wear the paint on the perimeter of the truck window.

Could it just be touching the back window and not the paint? I don't know the answers either, but I'd sure like to hear some ideas.

Very nice. Could be a little bigger. Paint matches, but we have a leak up front where the Ford moulding connects to the top of the bed of the truck. Any ideas on how to fix.

That's a much better looking cover than the factory one offered. What does it cost?

2000-2500 depending on options

Nice topper. That’s the best looking one I’ve seen yet.

Thanks for the photo. Which cover is this? and what is the vertical space to load in the back? How tall? Maybe a photo please?

Did you get the option for lights in the bed? it seems like you lose the light when you load the bed.

Or did the cover come with them?

Thanks!!!

The Breezer windows cap gasket only applies to the breezer window. No reason it wouldnt on factory glass.

Hey Pam, I hope you've figured out a way to mitigate your leak. On another note, any chance you would measure the height between the floor of the truck bed and the inside top of the ARE topper? I am interested in this topper too but the height is critical for my needs.

@Pam53, did you figure out how to keep water from running behind the black plastic trim and draining out inside the bed? Looking hard at ordering one of these in the Spring.

Better to stick with the Leer bed cap from Ford has better hight clearance

Does anyone have the height of the opening between the bottom of the glass when open to the floor of the bed? I would like to get the A.R.E. V Series Cap but need to make sure that I would be to stack two specific bins inside. Thanks in advance!
