Seems pretty good, I haven't gone hard charging off road with it yet. I am curious to see how it does versus the dust...

Tailgate fit on my ARE Z Series. Window is closed and latched, tailgate opens easily. Sigh ....

Thats very strange because my ARE Z-Series I had on my '16 Sport prevented the tailgate from opening and also prevented the tailgate from opening on the Tacoma we put the shell on when I sold it.

Does the lip below the glass in my photo look like what you had? I bought my truck with this shell, it had been mounted up in Novemebr '15, I believe. I wonder if ARE has redesigned it since (or used a part from a non-Tacoma shell. I don't think it would be a 2nd gen part, because the curve matches well, it just doesn't extend far enough down to capture the tailgate. There's no ARE dealer in my town so I haven't done anything about it yet ... and will probably buy a taller shell anyway. But I'd like to be honest with the buyer if I sell it.

Fixed .. easily. It turns out there is some adjustment in the striker loops attached to the cap. Loosened the bolts, pushed them all the way forward, and even though it didn't feel like much, it made a huge difference. I'm sure you can still force the tailgate open but it's much more secure. May help with dust too. Chalk up another case of sloppy installation or assembly.
