    Hi, can anyone with a snug top let me know if the gap between the back glass and tailgate is normal? I'm pretty sure I can slide my hand up it to push the interior lever up to unlock it. I just got it installed yesterday and am regretting it because you can literally take a stick and push up the lever from outside to open the back glass...
    I've reached out to snugtop customer service to see if this is normal.

    That is not normal. I have a cab high Snug on my X-Runner and you can't get your hand past the fiberglass part on the bottom of the back glass (I just went out in the garage and tried). I am sure if I knew exactly where the release was I could slip a slim jim or something similar in there and hit the latch but not a hand.

    To me it looks like the shell needs to be slid forward on the truck a bit or the catches for the back hatch shimmed to pull it in a bit tighter when closed.

    My snug top rebel does not look like that.

    Thanks for your help. Looks like I'll have to take time off work to drive all the way back there for them to fix it.
