 Good Shell for the money

This is the second A.R.E. shell I've purchased in the past 10 years. The fit and color are right on. My one of wishes is that they come up with better wiring to the keyless remote. The wiring that was installed by A.R.E. deformed the rubber seal for the rear window. My installer (Valley Camper Sales) went above and beyond to fix the issue right away. The other issue is the rear window itself. On my last A.R.E. the rear window would pop out once the lever was turned. Now I have to not only turn the lever, but also pull the window open at the same time. I would think there would be a way to have this spring open to make it easier since the lip of the rear window is a big plastic piece covering the tailgate and is recommended not to use as leverage to open and close. Also if you want to remove the A.R.E. sticker on the sides, I recommend you wait a few weeks until the paint has cured. When I removed mine the paint came off with them. Other than that so far I’m pleased.

 Dually Cap
Z Series : Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra

Love the cap. I looked all around for a clean fitting cap for a dually and A.R.E was the only one that molded to the bed and had the hidden hinges giving the truck a smooth look. You need to advertise more for the chevy dually. I had never even heard of your company if it wasnt for a image to see what another competitors cap looked like and I didn't like the look.

 Dependable and durable with looks

I've owned Brama, Leer, and another local fiberglass manufactured shell in the past. Nothing has the durability, dependability, and style as my last A.R.E. My A.R.E. lasted 10 years on my Nissan with no problems. Paint never faded and remained an icon addition beyond the sale of the truck. I strongly recommend the remote lock option, never had a problem as long as I lubed it once in a while. I am in the process of waiting for my new A.R.E. for my 2014 Ram. I have no worries that it will be worry free for as long as I own this truck as well. I'll gladly pay a few extra dollars (A.R.E.'s prices are very competitive to their competition) for this quality!
