Pros/Cons for keeping the cap?
Have been a FORD Econoline (steel tent) fan for decades & just adopted my Dad's minty '98 F-150 4X4 with a FG cap. Am luke warm, at best, about the cap. Will definitely be trying it w/o the cap shortly. Although its supposed to be a top quality cap, IMO it looks pretty hokey. While I appreciate its utility, I really dislike the rearward vision through 3 pieces of glass, especially the nearly impossible to clean 'twin' windows. Anyone have tips on how to effectively clean the windows in the narrow slot? Anticipate hoisting it up & only installing it when needed, but am not sure that's practical, anyone leave their cap hanging? Presume they're worth next to nothing used?

I have a cap on mine and it is one of those things you either need it or you hate it. I remove mine during the summer and put it back on for winter. To clean the glass I scoot the cap back. Space is an issue where I live otherwise I would have it off more often. You can get a decent price for one but you have to find the guy that is looking for one and and hope the color matches his truck.
