    Leer/Century (which are both T.A.G. brands) won't sell parts to the public. Gotta contact a local dealer or find an online dealer that can get you the part. I've had some luck with this place:

    Or here's another:

    I ripped a rear door off of a LEER 122. I thought the price for a door with glass was more than the old beat up shell was worth.
    I drilled out the rivets and reassembled with threaded bolts. Looks great.

    I had pretty much given up on getting a shell since they seem to be about 2 grand and up. Searched Craigslist for about a year and finally came across something. For $450 I’m very happy.

    This is my life right now.

    Jesus. $400+ for a rear door/window? That shit is bananas. Seems to be the going rate tho!

    I pretty much went bare bones. Zero options. But I like the style, I like the single piece windows, I didn't want a slider up front. My only complaint is that it leaks pretty heavy in the front corners (from what I've seen, this is due to the way the bed is made and all shells do this) but nothing some GreatStuff can't take care of.

    That was my first thought but all of the edges line up perfectly all the way around.

    The glass door already barely closes against the tailgate as it is.

    Nothing special but serves its purpose on a tight budget...

    @2Toyotas How do you like your shell with the walk-in door? There's one local for super cheap on CL that I am thinking of getting.

    @JPinFL
    If it is cheap definitely go for it.
    The walk-in door option alone is 1500.00.

    I like it overall.

    It has some drawbacks.
    No problem, but tedious, to reach the 2 bungies inside and then lock the 2 handles. I hear some do not attach the bungies, I always do.
    To use a drawer system, you open the whole door. I did not make a drawer system.
    I am not sure how easy it will be to remove/replace with the walk-in door attached.
    Small door can be snug fit to get in/out.
    Less visibility in rear view mirror.

    Good.
    Small door easy to open close to get things in/out, or to crawl in/out.
    Is is a good one.

    For the money I paid, I would look for some other caps I have seen here.
    A surfer girl has a really nice tall one.
