    This may be a dumb question. But does anyone get glare on the glass from the OEM third brake light sandwiched between the cab and the shell? I would think it would be more an nusicance rather than helpful while using a shell. The shell is flush with the roof. I was thinking of removing the bulbs before installing the shell tomorrow. But if its a dumb idea I won't do it. Thanks for any advice.

    ABS sucks.
    No glare on mine, since I have the lamprey lip seal between the front of the cap and the back of the cab, however I may remove the bulbs anyway...

    I'm think the truck shop that installed my shell disabled it. If they haven't then I've never noticed the oem brake light on/glare.

    I don't have any glare off of mine. It isn't at all noticeable, I don't see how it would be.

    Thanks guys. The shell sits pretty flush to the cab, so I'm wondering if I can access the brake light to remove/replace the bulb once the shell is installed. looking for pix online....
