Speaking of stickers, is it possible to remove all of the stickers they put on these spendy Camper Shell/Toppers?!
Last thing I'd want to do is remove the stickers on the truck and have stickers on the shell especially that huge one on the back window.

My Snugtop Xtra Vision shell with all of the bells and whistles finally arrived after a 6 month wait. I have to say that I am a little disappointed. I have another Snuptop that is 12 years old and It is deffinately higher quality than the new one! The fit of the new topper is excellent but the rear window has a cheesy flap that is supposed to keep dust out and the lower formed rail does not seem that it's attached very solidly. There are large gaps on each side of the cheesy flap and I guarantee the dust will poor in. The latches, hardware and trim metals are thin and a large downgrade to my 12 yr old topper and I guarantee they will not last long. Also, the cab flip up window will not shut without pushing down on the shell itself and it is not a good seal on the lower corners. I was so excited but my excitment was dramatically deflated once I received my new Snugtop. I'll be the cheesy metal and hardware saved them no more than $40 per topper but it will cost the consumer many $ down the road when the components start to fail. This is not right considering I just dropped $4300 in this new topper and the 12 year old super solid one was only $2400. I'd hate to see what a supposedly inferior shell is put together these days like an ARE or Leer.
Can you take it back? $4,300 is a LOT of $$$ to spend on a product and not be happy with it. I'd do everything I could to take it back and get my $$$ back from them.

At least on my Leer topper, the sticker on side, towards the rear corner is in an indentation. So removing the sticker will leave the topper looking funny, like something is obviously missing.

The company that owns leer bought snugtop about a year ago. Snugtop makes Snugtop molds. They are not sharing molds in any way. However the factory that makes Leer work shells (aluminum) is now making Snugtop shells.

The look of the shell on the shell on my truck is fantastic. You may want to still consider it. After having it for a while I have gotten over the shock fo the lower quality hardware but the extra front LED light just stopped working too. Easy to replace but c'mon. I used two different whether seal to close off the rear window bottom molded fiberglass piece to the tailgate. It looks factory and keeps the dust out for sure. I think I'm going to take the flip up cab window frame apart and see if I can reattach it correctly. I should have just taken it back to the dealer but I don't trust that they'll adjust it without making it worse. I really do like the electric rear lock on the tailgate window that they offer. I never have to worry about whether I locked it or not. If you want to see what it looks like on my truck just search my posts as I have posted some pics of it.
