    Thats the only downfall I really see to my leer shell (almost a year old). The piano hinge doesn't "traverse'the whole way. Not a big deal but when its raining and I have the window partially or all the way open it'll drip more rain into the bed since the hinge kind of acts like a rain gutter as well. Ive been trying to come up with a fix like maybe some kind of weather stripping or something. This picture might suck, its dark and ive had a few

    Hey fellas, for anyone who cares I have another update. Finally had a chance to take some time off from work around thanksgiving so I decided to go ahead and give the camper top some of the TLC it’s been needing. Dad and I removed the back glass (after removing the two set screws, you slide the whole window sideways out of the hinge). We were able the grind/drill out the rivets holding the hinge to the window frame that had come loose and installed two new rivets. We also drilled out the three rivets holding the top strut mount to the window frame on one side (the rivets had loosened and it was very wobbly) and installed 3 new rivets. We then reinstalled the window into the frame, replaced the stopper with set screw, and reinstalled the struts. The hinge still creaks a bit when you open and close the back glass but I can live with it. Total cost to repair: a couple of dads rivets (free) and a set of struts from Amazon ($20).

    He doesn’t do a whole lot anymore since retirement so I like to think he enjoys when I bring little projects like this over.

    Yep, retired myself and I always enjoy doing projects with my two sons when I go visit them.
