    For those of you with ARE toppers with the fold down front window, I am interested in knowing if the fold down window is also removeable?

    The A.R.E. website does not specify, only says fold down, and the search fuction only comes up with the Leer fold downs being removable. I would suspect these manufacturers are mainly using similar suppliers so I would be surprised if all fold downs were not removable, but ya never know.

    Thank you.

    I have no proof either way. But from reviewing videos on the differences, looks to me like the ARE's are fold down but not removable. And the LEER is removable only (doesn't have hinges for folding).

    If you get an HD version then you dont even get the fold down option because of the internal structure. FYI.
