SnugTop Can

I purchased a Snugtop GB Sport and I like the shape and that they matched the color.

However, just wanted to let people know that there are a few quality issues.

First when they trimmed the bottoms they did not paint/touch up the bottom edges (so white on a red truck and cap). Luckily I had some DR color chip paint and fixed the issue. Might not be an issue on a white top.

Then the front window frame is not flush (see pics). I contacted my dealer and they contacted Snugtop and were told that is the way it is.

Last thing, I screwed up and did not get the folding down front window. This means that it is impossible to clean the outside rear window (no you cannot get your hand or arm between the rear window and front cab window. So it stays dirty.

Oh, and you basically do not need your rear view mirror as with the cab on there is nothing to see out back (glass in the top is tinted).

You can upgrade to the rearview camera\mirror, and install the taillight with the camera in it into your cap so your rear view mirror just shows the camera from the cab back.
That's how my Limited it but it's on my normal taillight since I don't have a cap.

You did screw up by not getting the fold down window, the other stuff is just the way they are.

Do not expect perfection from any of these truck cap places.

I had a Leer cap on my Tacoma.
It didn’t have a fold down front window, and I would have preferred 1, but once a year I’d slide the cap back and clean the windows. With the tinted truck windows I couldn’t really see any of the light dirt that was there.
The bottom cut of the fiberglass was not super clean, but it never bothered me, but I didn’t have the carpet for it to stand out from and the truck was silver.
I could see out the rear mirror just the same as I could through the trucks windows. Had a camera for backing up.

Don't agonize over it. It sucks but that's the way it is. On the bright side the cap looks great! I like the shape and it goes with the trucks body lines well. Nice!
