How do you get in and the clean the windows with a topper on? There is very little space betwen the cab and topper and therefore I end up with water spots on the windows. I was looking around and saw this, but don't know if I would still be able to get it through the crack.

chroma,

I think you meant this: (one two many "http://" )

Anyhow, if you have no other choice, that will probably be better than nothing. The mitt looks like a synthetic mitt, which I'm not particularly fond of. Of course, you could always put a cotton mitt, or lambs wool mitt on that extension. Also, I bet the mitt ends up pulling off the extension, and getting stuck between the cab and cap. Still, I know how tough washing that area can be, as I had a couple of trucks with caps on them.

I would give it a try.

 

I would think that a better long term solution would be a slider and boot for the cap. No second window and now you have cab access to the back of the truck. I know that when I last had a cap, I really liked having one.

 

I've actually held one of those within the past month (when I had my lid put on my truck). I must say, I was impressed with the idea but, the sponge part lacked in quality. It was synthetic. I foresaw it becoming mangled in a very short period of time.

One could probably rig it so that you could have a nice chenille mitt on the end of it by utilizing some duct tape or similar. Of course, I wouldn't recommend allowing the tape to run across your paint...

Like Boss mentioned, it's certainly better than nothing.

Boss, thanks for the correction. I will have to give it a try. Hopefully, I will take the topper off this coming month or so after hunting season is over. I was psyched when the truck came with the topper when I bought it, but now after having it for 10 months, I don't think I will ever buy another topper again. Most likely would go with a roll-up cover next time.

 

I would say use distilled water "purified water" doesnt leave spots..

 

Tex, I used distilled water and vinegar last time I had the topper off to get the water spots off. After that, I used a couple of passed with Klasse AIO to remove more of the water spotting. Not looking forward to doing this again because last time it took me a couple of hours.

 

Why not just invest in a slider window and boot to seal the cap. That way there are not two windows or any gap.

Not sure what your'e talking about. Can you please elaborate?
