Sounds like a fun way to spend a Saturday.

Better than slugging your way through the lower parts of Alhambra and San Gabriel delivering Amazon stuff......

Didnt buy it. It has the boot "front window delete"

No thanks.

Wish mine had the front window delete, would make seeing out the back easier. Right now the front window of the cap is covered in a year of dust. And the truck's back window makes it impossible to reach. Except for the sliding window part. I guess I could clean the center of the window. LOL

You could Jim, but that would make the rest of it look worse

The forward window on mine is hinged so it can be swung down and cleaned. I think I've done that once. Maybe twice.

A moot point for me at the moment because just like the Bronco, the mirror has fallen off the windshield, so I can't even look through the back window. Trying to figure out how to install that 5 panel mirror I have with that wooden overhead console taking up so much space.

I like the shell on mine Trey, not that I have a choice.

Doesn't look to be so "rust free" to me.


The farther you read in the ad, the less appealing it gets. The writer should have kept it short.
