 Awesome Cap
A.R.E. Dcu Series
DCU Series : Toyota Tacoma
July 17, 2015    Posted by: Bill
I purchased a cap with the side toolboxes and rope lighting throughout. It has help to make my work flow so much smoother because of the organization of tools and materials. I am impressed with the quality, solid construction especially the doors and smooth function of the locking mechanisms. There is one component of the cap that I was disappointed with that should be improved. The rear tail light was attached with two sided tape and it detached after about 10 days. I pressed the light back in place but it would only stay for a day or so and then it would not stay attached at all. It appears that the adhesive on the tape is inadequate. I ended up removing the factory tape and used some 3M exterior mounting tape to reattach the light. It is solid now. I suggest you consider changing to 3M Exterior Mounting Tape in your manufacturing process.

 Poor adjustment and weatherstripping
A.R.E. X Series
X Series : Ford F150

Unfortunately my cap did not have a good adjustment on the locking bar and the bar tore through the foam weatherstripping. This was pointed out to the dealer before I drove away. They said they would order a new weaterhstripping, but I have yet to hear back.To make matters worse the weatherstripping has come loose on both sides of the hatch and I can tell from the residue that there was not much glue applied at the factory. It does not look like it will last very long. In addition the locking bar is pretty cheap and would be easy to pry open. The lack of a secure door is very disappointing. I really wish I loved my A.R.E. cap but after spending over $2100 I'm pretty bummed.

 Z-Series - the best!
A.R.E. Z Series

I've owned six different truck caps in my life from around the U.S. and Canada but the A.R.E. is simply the best in terms of build, quality, design and durability. It is by far the best looking on the Ram 1500 and is an excellent value for the price.
