Camper shell repair
Hey guys I have a 04 SD, 4 inch lift and have the opportunity to purchase a shell at a great price but the guy has informed me the back glass is out, not broke....any ideas on cost or how hard it is to make this repair??? Thanks, still a newby, Griff

It depends on whats wrong with the glass,why is it out in the first place.At least the guy has the glass,that the expensive part.Repairing the hinges or something to that effect shouldn't be that bad.

Nice shell but we'd need to see the back of it to give you more info.
Take a close look at the hinges, and the area around where the glass sits/seals. Make sure it doen't look chipped up or you'll get leaks.
I'm not familiar with that particular shell...mines a different style altogether.
Does the owner have the old glass? Any good auto glass shop can replace it for you but the better the job, the higher the cost.
Good Luck.

Depends on WHY it was removed 
I broke the back glass on my ARE topper. $450 to replace, installed. Needless to say, it's still sitting on the stand next to the garage for the past 2 years

I used to use it for camping - with an air mattress it was way more comfortable than my brother-in-law's trailer's beds (and bigger).

Who knew hot-flashes could be a good thing? I'm waiting for someone to sell one cheap in the local newspaper. I've seen the exact same ones as I have for $500... different color though.
Anyway, back to our regular programming...

Too bad I paid $1500 for it.
But then, I have passenger plates for the truck as a result. So, I guess it was somewhat worth it in the long run...
I wonder, I have the radius angle for the glass, I wonder if a glass shop could make one cheap?
