Iconic Silver ARE Topper installed, Rock Hill, SC

Jorah_L · Jan 27, 2024

Ordered from the Leonard dealership in Rock Hill, SC on Dec. 9, installed on Jan. 26, total out the door was $3,431.55. I'm happy with it! I got the sliding windows with screens on the sides, and a 'drop hatch' window in front so I can clean the back window on the cab, but everything is so dark now, I won't likely be using the rear window as much as previously. The color match is amazing; several neighbors were nearby when I drove in & that was one of the first things they said.

Looks good!

Nice! I'm curious how water tight yours will be. Let us know if there are any leaks.

Nice! Love mine. Makes packing for a trip throw and go. No roof racks or cargo boxes required.

For me, it's an adjustment to use the side mirrors only. I can see out of the back but not reliably and no wiper. I'm also thinking about adding dome lights. Also, not getting the windoor was a miss for me, hope you optioned it in the driver's side. I have a thread with a post about sealing the gap, fyi. PPF seal still well intact.

Oh well, we missed the windoor boat. Get it next time. After living with it for 8 months, getting to the bulkhead from the tailgate isn't always a fun task when it's fully packed. And I'm saying that at 44 y.o. Drawer might actually make sense, but I don't want to loose the space and pricey. Just gotta pack smartly.

I hadn't seen the threads here mentioning the windoor until well after I put the order in, and now I do wish I'd known of the option.

The good news is that I have both on mine, and the frame and cutout looks the same. the windows are installed as a inner and outer sandwich with simple screws holding them in. One day I will try to contact ARE directly(which is hard) to confirm they are identical. If so I will order a second windoor for the passenger side. If I ever get around to confirming this I will be sure to let everyone on here with a topper know. Might cost $300 with shipping but that would be worth it to me. Plus I will have the vent window for a cool goofy project of some sort.

The do a good job with color matching. I have had a few people not realize it was a pickup truck!

I took it through the Auto Bell automated cleaning tunnel on Sunday and there was a bit of water in the bed; it's unlikely I'll be encountering many storms that intense, but if it starts to be a problem I know where to research it! This is a great place to learn about this truck.

Very nice.

Is that a Harbor Freight hitch step?

Love the topper! Any chance you can measure from the bed floor to the ceiling of the topper? Cheers!

Good eye, yes. I picked it up at H.F. along with a socket wrench breaker bar, a tire chock, & some other hitch related stuff.

Yes sir, it came out to 40" of space.

The Maverick being unibody, is there a valid reason we haven't seen a topper that seals against the Maverick's roof instead of that rail behind the rear window that can't drain easily and causes leaks? This would also eliminate at least one of the windows making rear visibility somewhat improved.

I’m guessing the shop may be able to replace the stationary window with the windoor? Then you can hold onto the former in the event your windoor ever gets damaged, or if you decide you prefer the stationary window.
