Completely agree, looks like it's about two feet of roof would need to be "put back" of you look at the picture & align it with the wheel wells.

I couldn’t say anything bad about my CCV top! The thing is rad.

Unless its half the price of a CCV top I would not even consider it. Too ugly.

I'm pretty sure that Hower exclusively builds slide in truck caps now. I think they only ever did 2 vans.

The edges on that thing are so squared off, I can't see how it can do anything BUT create a metric ton of wind resistance and road noise... I mean it is nice to see options in the market, but definately NOT for me...
