    I really want to get a mid-rise cap like an MX. but also reallly want keyless power lock.
    Other than snugtop which is not available in my area I don’t think this exists from the dealer in any brand. Leer’s model has a double handle so I was thinking ARE would be easier to convert as the MX has a single handle.
    My questions:
    1) Has anyone installed a pop lock PL9555 or similar product on their cap?
    2) Has anyone installed on an MX?

    I installed pop-n-lock in my tailgate. Seemed like that locking mechanism is much lighter than what's in my ARE cap. Little flick of a finger would lock/unlock the tailgate, the cap mechanism would likely need something more powerful.

    I have one in my tailgate also. I am specifically asking about the cap hatch mechanisms.
