    Waited over 3 months for mine and this took a little fun off this project but life goes on insight who puts it on and their abilities is just as important as the cab selection. Chronic labor shortages in this field is occurring everywhere dont rush your dealer selectuon

    you should be able to unlock it with the key in the door without the truck shutting off. Then you have to put the key in the ignition and turn it before you step on the brake and it will stay running. If you step on the brake before you turn the key the truck will shut off. This is how mine works anyway. I know this video is 2 yrs old so you may know this about the remote start already ..

    Just got my new Snugtop. Told me a shocking 12 week wait…took just over 6 months. Still missing roof rails “on order.” No dealer “sorry, it should be here soon”, Covid delay excuses..dealer didn’t seem to care or be surprised by the crazy time delay. 6 months is a long risky wait for a truck, could have a wreck or mechanical failure, then you would not need the top? Installed on my Tundra..we live in Washington State. This top is still leaking in about 5 places after one trip to the dealership for a “water test and reseal”. Giving the terrible dealer a second chance to stop the leaks, but I am doubtful it will ever be even relatively dry. Hardware latches are extremely cheap feeling, “only” paid $3400 for this Sportsman Package Rebel…is supposed to be extra sturdy, but it leaks and I can’t believe how cheap the hardware is. The key I was given for the locks is tiny, like my kids cheap piggy bank “lock”. Very disappointed…looks great, but I will be trying to return if they can’t fix all the crazy leaking.
