Its hard to tell in the pic, but that cap covers the actual seam quite a bit.
I've had caps on my last 3 trucks, I'll never not have one. Love it.

Century is the same cap as Leer. Owned by the same company and made in the same factory. I have a century cap on order for my truck. We will see which one shows up first, the truck or the cap, LOL.

That looks to be the 100XQ. I have one on order. Lead time was quoted 3-4 months due to glass shortage of the 1 piece glass on the 100XQ model. Now it is a race to see if the truck or cap shows up first!

I have read that. I think they may even share a website or something. When I went looking at caps for the new truck (well in '19) I think you could link from Leer to Century right on the home page or something. This is my 3rd Century. Been a satisfied customer to date for sure.
Good luck with yours and your new truck.

Really like the look of a lot of these. I noticed a few of yours have tracks on top for a rack system. Does anyone use those racks or have any reservations about the carrying capacity and reducing the overall life of the cap? I’d like to get a Leer mid-rise and put my kayaks on top, but that seems like a lot of weight and a large moment being exerted on the fiberglass going down the road at 60 mph. Thanks!
