    Any camper shell supplier should be able to order and install them for you. I stopped by one of my local shops and was quoted $350 per window.

    Most flippacs came with windows. Edit: were you talking about the windoors? If so it came that way, some came like that from the factor.

    pretty sure they are referring to the flip up windows on your first FlipPac rather than the slide windows on your new one.

    I intend to eventually eliminate the side windows on mine. They are pretty useless.

    Driver side is useless, passenger side does help with the blind spot that a solid side would create.

    The clear coat on my Flip Pac lid top is showing some weathering and peeling / flaking. I've been thinking for a while about painting it with a rubberized RV roof coating with UV protection in white or silver for reflectivity and to help keep things cooler when stowed. This article helped answer some questions, but not all. https://www.*********/best-rv-roof-...at_to_Look_for_When_Buying_an_RV_Roof_Coating
    Has any body done this, or know somebody that has. What are your thoughts...pros / cons?

    my entire flippac was painted with a shitty bedliner spray on type material.
    I think if I had the basic factory gelcoat I would take it to a body shop and have them color match it to my truck. Obviously more expensive option but realistically you’ve already got $ into it why not go bling? :cool:

    My (@G.T. ) FP is color matched, but no body sees the top, sooo why would I spring for bling :cool:

    Edited original post to state just the lid top clear coat is peeling, NOT entire FP.

    Hey guys I got a flip pack a few months back and I’m trying to figure out the little hood mounting brackets. I don’t have them and wanted to make or buy them but haven’t been able to come across any to model after. Anyone in here from Orange country and could possibly help out?

    These may help, but not much. Hard to get a good pic, but the mounting tab needs to angle outboard to clear the hood...
