    I have a snugtop xtra-vision. Bought it used and although it didn't have all the features I wanted like a fold down front window, and side windoors, the price was right, the color was right, and the roof was reinforced so I bought it.

    I now am looking at options to add windoors to it. My old truck had them and they make getting gear during camping really easy. More of the bed becomes usable or convenient I should say.

    I know I could add a bedslide or drawers but those add weight and reduce the usability of the bed for hauling large loads or require removal to do so.

    Has anyone done or heard of someone adding windoors to a shell that came with standard slider windows. I imagine they are the same size modules for each model shell and could be interchangeable. Most windoors are an option and don't come standard.

    If snugtop offers windoors the local dealer could probably order some for you and install them. Anything to make a few dollars they'd try to make it happen.

    Thats what I figured. I am hoping that I can find someone who has done it. If it isn't to hard of a process, I would like to just buy the windoors and install them myself.

    I think that would be impossible. Shell manufacturers deal with their own retail networks, they don't sell retail direct from the factory. They run a pretty tight system, but good luck.

    Call Tyson @ Sam Evans. He would know. He's helping me build my topper. Still deciding between a Snugtop or Leer

    I picked up a Snugtop & Leer brochure while I was in SLC last week. According to the Snugtop brochure, Windoors are not an option listed for the Xtravision. Only models shown with windoors available are the Rebel, Cab-hi and the Hi-liner.
