ARE or Astro Top

I am looking at getting truck cap. The two I have narrowed it down to are ARE and Astro. I have had ARE's in the past good product. The Astro is new to my and need info on it. It is a little cheaper and I like the double locks on the back glass. Any way if you have any info good or bad I would appreciate it. Thanks Tom

Loved my ARE MX cap...great quality and plenty strong with perfect paint match to boot.

A little pricey, mine was $1,200

Re:ARE or Astro Top

I have an ARE, a 'Z' series as I recall. The paint match is very good, no leaks so far, the tilt window allows for easy cleaning, it's insulated well enough to have been comfortable for the kids riding in the rear this last hot summer, and after a slight adjustment the hatch closes nicely.
