I damaged my rear window-door on my fiberglass ARE cap. I tore the whole window out. It ripped at the rivets along the top. The glass didn't break.

I see how the window is assembled and drill out 4 rivets and the top of the frame( the bent part) sli up and off.and the glass was free to pull out of the lower portion of the frame.easy peasy. I undid two screws on the frame on the cap itself and slid out the other 'half' of the hinge.

I straightened that.and now If I can buy a new top frame I can put this thing back together. The dealer wants $300 for the window frame and $85 to install. Looking on line, that seems to be a good price as I have seen the windows go for $450.

But still the glass is perfect the lower frame is good, the seal is good. I am going to straighten the top piece if I can, but I thought id ask here.I looked on line for an hour and no body sells the windows alone( outside a cap dealer).these are all VERY GENERIC windows. All the cap makers are buying these dammm windows from the same place. I have had 2 ARE caps and a LEER and all the windows look identical.I have an old cap from my 2002 ford, but since the side of the bed are taller on the new trucks the height of the caps are shorter. Thus the window is way to large.anyone have a source for truck cap window parts?thanksthe tool. Whisperin' duck wrote:If I'm not mistaken Leer owns ARE.

Find the closest dealer and have them order what you need. It shouldn't be too expensive and will fix it correctly rather than ni.er rig it.the cap costs $1700 brand new with no accessories. They want like $400 for just the window.its not a matter of being cheap its a matter of telling them FLOCK YOU.the local dealer gets top MSRP on everything he sells.and you put your hand on your behind and wait 2 weeks for everything on top of it.do you ever fix anything yourself?? Or everything that breaks down at your house, you just toss it and buy a new one???lucky you.the tool.

You first need to identify what you have. This is probably the most important part of the process; you need to know exactly what you're replacing before you can replace it. Not to worry, it's really quite easy and I will explain.Most people try to identify part numbers. Don't bother.

I repeat, DON'T bother looking at SUSPA numbers, etc., they really only confuse matters. You only need to know two things: their size overall, and the amount of weight they are rated to hold.The size is the length of the prop when it's fully extended. You need to take it off to measure it, and I will explain how to do that. And trust me, that number does not need to be that precise. In other words, if the props holding up your door measure out at 16 and 1/4 inches, or 16 and a half inch, a 16 inch or even a 17 inch prop will probably work just fine.The other question has to do with the weight rating. Most gas props are rated between 30 to 50 lbs.

If your camper door is from a utility shell, meaning it is all metal with no glass, it will be heavier, and require a heavier prop.So, to recap, the average camper shell, top, topper, has props that are around 40 lbs. You may see a number on the prop that says '40 lbs,' or just '45', or '30,' or '35': if so, you're good, that's what you need. If after you attach the new props, the door swings up really fast and hard, and is difficult to close, the props are probably too heavy. You will have to remove the props in order to measure them.Removing a prop is so simple that it can seem like it should be more complicated—it isn't. Simply insert a flat-head screwdriver in the tab at the end of the prop, and pop it out just slightly—you DON'T need to pull that whole tab out—then gently pull on the prop and it should pop right off the end of the ball stud. Be ready for the door to fall down, so try to prop it up with a stick.Putting on the new props is just as simple—they just pop right onto those ball studs.Yes, it's that easy, and most shops that sell toppers/campers/shells should have these, in various sizes of course, and many will even install them for you as a courtesy.

And if they don't—as you can see, they're really easy to do.
