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.
