SnugTop vs Leer. Is it worth it?

Looking for a canopy? Which is better? Leer or Snugtop?

[@PillCozbee]

Canopy. Shell. Topper. Camper. Cap. Can we agree on what to call these things so they're easier to search for online?

[@St.PierreProductions]

Got dammit I agree with you 100%

[@zalo2153]

OMG I agree too. Its a pain in the ass to search it xD

[@blooddisorder]

I say this every time! I’m not crazy after All!

[@jonhill0356]

Haha. I said the same thing last night. So true.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

I was told it depends on what region of the country you are from.

[@netsurfers9357]

Thank you for your honest opinion, I've been shopping for a canopy for my 2019 Ram 1500 crew cab 6.4 bed and you opened my eyes to understanding the quality differences.

I’ve seen just as many videos that say Snugtop is the lesser shell, so take these for what they’re worth.

[@gabesvidz]

Very good observations. Thanks

[@ReaiityCk]

I bought a Snug Top canopy with a front widow assembly that folded down for cleaning. Within a a year the front window assembly began leaking in the rain and it was a complete piece of shit so I took it back to the dealer. The dealer said that Snug Top acknowledged the problem was from using a defective window assembly that they had since discontinued but they said I would have to pay several hundred dollars more to remove and replace the window. I contacted Snug Top and they acknowledged their product was defective but basically said it was my tuff luck. I've been through two trucks since then and I will never buy a Snug Top product again!

[@vodka7martini]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@zizwop]

Pretty good honest review. The lousy screws in the window frames are fairly common, even sliders on a SnugTop Rebel will have screws in the frames like that, but the SnugTop Supersport topper won't have inside frames, much cleaner than the 100XL, but also more expensive. I do like that Leer has all those cool options, like the lock box and 12V accessory outlets. SnugTop also has a better paint warranty. Leer is a good top though.

[@curtbrackenrich7883]

Nice video, leaning Leer since they have a local dealer. But this makes me think.

[@matthewhoyt1913]

Thanks for the video! I just sold my truck that i had put a $4800 A.R.E topper on and im back in the market for a shell for my new truck. The A.R.E was terrible. Poor craftsmanship. Same as the leer you show here with crooked screws and all kinds of misalignment. Screws kept falling out. Passenger side windoor was always leaking. Rear door (full pass through hatch back tailgate replacement type) leaked everywhere and the weather stripping was always coming off. Pits in the paint. Third brake didn’t quite fit in the cut out mold above the back door so they just mounted it in there crooked. Was supposed to be a trimless seam at bed but came with that cheesy 1/4 round trim piece that was always separating. The shocks quit holding the door open after only a couple months.... the list goes on and on. Im leaning snug now.

[@drwinlied]

Solid call-outs on the build quality, but also pointing out, that while obvious and frustrating, functionality is still there (no leaks, etc). Hard to say how long the fit/finish of the Leer will last (those x-threaded/crooked screws would drive me nuts); but if you've had it for 2 years and still looks good/functions...idk. The more I look into these things, the more it seems luck-of-the-draw on quality across all brands. Thanks for taking the time to make/post.

[@TheFullLouie]

+drwinlied well put and totally agree! Thank you!!!

[@TheFullLouie]

+drwinlied thanks for watching!

[@kvital5353]

drwinlied well said have my fingers crossed for I just ordered the Leer 750 sport bed cover also for him to have that black paint matched is awesome as well

[@underscr0e]

Reminds me of my old ARE Z topper, except the plastic latches for the rear door wore out.

[@kenschmidt6522]

Bought my Snugtop in 2008. Good color match (GMC silver birch), finish holding up well. Only complaint is latch won't lock securely anymore.

[@kenschmidt6522]

Update...got a replacement Pro-Lock from CalTruck (only place I could find it) works better than the original ever did.

[@jeffshannon5410]

Great video thank you!

[@turbo7215]

I went from a used decade old Glasstite that I purchased in early 2014 to a Leer 100XR in early 2016. The weatherstripping and plastic trim piece on the rear window of the Glasstite eventually degraded to the point of needing replacement in order to keep rain out. The company quit making caps (and replacement parts) quite a while ago. Got rid of it and got a Leer 100XR and guess what? its got the same exact issues that you have. The fiberglass has a slight waviness to it and the paint was full of swirl marks. A two step compound/polish job got the paint looking great, the waviness still remains. Mine also has crooked window trim screws. TL;DR: All topper manufacturers suck in some aspect. If you plan on keeping the top for a while go ahead and buy replacement weatherstripping and molding. If nothing else it'll increase the resale value another $100.

[@jamesrecknor6752]

Very helpful

[@amylshaver]

(Pst..... it’s actually called Northern Lights Brewery!) But yes, we love our Big Juicy over here :) Thanks for the review!

[@625jeffrey]

I have a Leer 100XL, I have noticed some minor things, rusting on hardware & handle eventually broke and had to replace the handle. Course I bought it used for $100 color matched and everything so I wouldn't complain either way. Snug tops are top of the line but Leer has been around for many decades and I also have a Leer on a 1990 ford ranger, bought it with the pickup in 1990 and it has still held up fine after 30 years.

[@albertocisneros5739]

Good video, I want to see how you camped out with it also. Did you add some kind of tent closer on the back?

[@opteronfox]

Looks like quality is with Snugtop. Thank you for this video, I was already interested in the Snugtop because of the styles available.

[@MatthewMello]

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately, snugtop is not available in New England. I got the choice of Leer, ARE, and Jeraco.

[@rich3782]

Very sad that something so simple to make can not be produce in the USA with quality craftsmanship. Personally, I would pay more to obtain quality, but that does not seem to be an option.

[@billwest6406]

After reading the comments, I’ve seen complaints and horror stories about every single brand that offers these toppers. Having second thoughts now because every brand appears to be junk.

[@kerndetailology7632]

Same here! It’s sad.

[@amandadavis9726]

I just sold my Tonneau cover that I’ve had for 18 years on my dually. I’ve been considering a Snug Top Xtra Vision shell. Now, I’ve been reconsidering.

[@e.simons6964]

I appreciate your candid opinion regarding the top line model from Leer! I too prefer then snug top but that's also, just my opinion...

[@TheFullLouie]

+E. Simons think it’s a SnugTop for me next time with less options.

[@twoeightonesixzero4559]

Thanks for the video! How much did this whole set up run you? Price of the leer? Price of the set up?

[@Brian_Davies]

Good review. Bit for others checking out comments, I had a snugtop that was junk. Top of the line model that leaked like it was paper. Had to re-rig the front window latches twice. Had a lower end snugtop on my prior truck but my last one made me pretty sour of the brand.

Do you ever have problems with that rear latch freezing and rain or melting snow freezing in between that latch and the window

[@beverlywatson8883]

What do u think of Leer vs ARE?

[@bryanr.3241]

I'm going with a new cap to the states but expensive. You get what you pay for is true to the core. LDR Designs is what I need for many reasons. I don't want glass that can be broken into with my camping gear etc in the back. I'm also thinking of adding DECKED storage drawers to bed. Sorry to see such shady craftsmanship on the Leer. Thanks for doing this video 👍

[@Solmangrundy]

Suprised they didnt swap out those round heads for flat-top screws on that removable window.

[@chrisludwig9783]

I just looked at a snug top for my dually. You're top looks just as good. You made the back of you're truck awesome. Do they make a bed rug for an 8 ft bed ?

[@davedempster3405]

Yes. I had one in an 8 ft bed of my Chevy Silverado. bedrug.com/bedrug-classic-bedliners

[@OverweightOutdoorsman]

Came across this video and feel I have to add to the discussion. I purchased the LEER 100 XR and got it for hunting trips around Flagstaff, AZ. The type of soil and the construction on the forest roads makes it EXTREMELY dusty - so the cap is supposed to prevent dust from getting into the bed. Well, the cap is not really sealed. Dust gets into the bed, I figured due to the fineness of the dust particles. Dust I can live with wiping out of the bed - it's not hermetically, tightly sealed and I was not expecting it to keep every grain of dust out. What's got me in fits is that my LEER cap leaks as well. On a recent trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the truck sat out overnight, not driving, no gail force winds and the inside of the bed had puddles in a low point on the side of the bed near the wheel well. Took it to Tom's Camperland in Mesa, AZ and they tell me it's due to the construction of the Tacoma with vents that, they claim, the manufacturer put in the bed for air flow. They stuffed the vents full of silicone sealant and sent me on my way. Great day to test due to the great amount of rainfall we had in Phoenix today. It LEAKS! I'll be calling LEER to address this and will post back when they (if they) respond. The door is also a P.O.S, and I don't mean Point Of Sale - water is running between the glass and the fiberglass. I can see it because it's coming out a hole apparently designed to let water run out. Anyone out there buy a cap for their truck with the expectation that it leaks? I don't think so. I'll post back soon with LEER's response.

[@williamcartee7857]

Hi John, I saw your review and just wanted to check in with you. I'm also in AZ looking to purchase the Leer from Tom's camper land and also have a Tacoma. I'm worried about dust and rain getting in the shell. Has leer or toms found a way to address your issues. I'm on the fence so far. They have the three brands leer, snug and ARE and just wondering the best route. Any additional feedback would be awesome.

[@OverweightOutdoorsman]

William Cartee I’m still working with Tom’s to get it resolved. For now, I can not recommend Leer as a choice for you or anyone else. I’ll update you as I work through the problems I’m having

[@jtinnac1895]

So, do you still have it? I wonder what you might have to say now a little over two years later?

[@DannyKapatrik]

You in fort Lewis? I noticed the army PT cap

[@johnganshow5536]

How tight of a fit is the rear hatch? When driving down dusty roads, the dust always got sucked into the bed of the truck with my past Leers, because of the slight gaps on either side of the back window...

[@TheFullLouie]

+John Ganshow pretty good actually. I get a little but it's not bad and gathers only around the edges. You can easily adjust the fit by loosening the two screws and moving the latching points back which makes it tighter.

[@shylildude]

If you don't mind me asking but how tall are you? Does either brand have a high top model? Is there a solar panel option?

[@TheFullLouie]

+shylildude 6'2''. Think they both have a high cab version. Not sure about solar but that would be cool

[@PennsylvaniaBigfootProject]

I'm curious, how would you compare ARE vs the Leer? I've got a price of $2100 from LEER, but I'm going for the mid size 180XL.

[@TheFullLouie]

Sorry. No real world experience with an ARE.

[@brucec43]

Just watched another video from a dealer who said the exact opposite in terms of quality. Pointed out inferior hinges on a similar priced Snugtop. ?????????

[@nellof1244]

I agree 100%

[@shadgreenup9164]

I have a 2019 tacoma I'm really torn between a Leer and snugtop I don't know which way to go

[@bobvedder2451]

I had a leer that had the front window break, with the removable window frame, I replaced the glass with 1/8 inch thick polycarbonate. It is now unbreakable.

[@TheFullLouie]

nice fix. My current Leer (came with the used Raptor) doesn't fold down. Dirty rear view forever. 😐

[@gerardhoward5321]

How’s that leer holding up

[@stevenkarkkainen8115]

Had a Leer on a 2013 Ford F-150. The lower rails between front and rear clamps warped badly on both sides that the base that sat on bed rails of truck twisted so the cap dug into the outside of truck box and wore/chipped the paint. The paint repair to the outside of the box cost me $700 ! Not good!

[@kirkwd8829]

My truck with a Snug Top just got totaled. I run a lumber rack with shell. The new truck/year I am buying can not use the SnugTop. I also believe the Snug Top is a better product. I believe you should send issues you have or this video to Leer. That way they can step up their fit and finish.

[@TheFullLouie]

[@busterworley1507]

You can do the right the job right. Put screws in straight, in the same amount of time. It is easy to see there is not any quality control.

[@kayakbandits9894]

Leer sucks! I spent $3000 on one and had nothing but issues with it. Got every option possible and they all were poorly installed. I too got the gun box. The day I picked it up as I was checking it out and opened the door it fell off. They re did the screws for the door. Later the entire box fell out of the ceiling. Had pet screens installed. The windows leaked. It also had a grinder mark where they messed up the pour when it came out of the mold it stuck so they simply ground the chunk that stuck to it down and it looked like garbage. Leer wouldnt fix it so my dealer sent it to a body shop and they did a good job fixing it. I also had a lock with the one handle in the middle. That was nice because it connected to my trucks key fob so one click locked everything down. The carpet started coming off. I would NEVER purchase a Leer after the experience I had. My dealer was even frustrated and made comments to the lines of they might drop Leer because of the quality drop. But they explained it this way. They all are using the same labor pool and they dont typically speak good English. Same Indiana town makes them all. Oh yeah that little skirt that hangs off the window that over laps the tailgate was replaced too. I think I had to take it back 3 times. Once for the door on the gun box. 2nd time was to fix leaks around the windows. They said one window was not seated correctly and they re seated it. The other was replaced, 3rd time was the grind mark along the side. It still leaked and there were a few minor issues like the carpet coming loose in the ceiling. I didnt even call them when the entire gun box fell out. Glad I wasnt under it. Its heavy! I now have an ARE. It seems better but not sure how much. It came with the used truck I purchased so I dont know how it was new? It seems heavier duty though especially the door hatch hinges. But the windows leak just the same.

My friend bought one (2017) for his new F-250 Ford and he is totally disappointed with it and the fit and finish. I have heard that SnugTop is under new ownership and that may be the result of very little quality control and that is why I am looking at Leer and A. R.

[@turnerstruckstuff7871]

Everybody's quality has gone down hill since TAG (LEER's owner) bought SnugTop. SnugTop's quality has gone down way more than LEER's though!

[@josephstaudenraus8191]

I have a LEER. Not good. From the manufacturer the rear door or hatch, (whatever the correct term) LEAKS AND DOES NOT CLOSE EVENLY. The top of the hatch has a tight seal and spacing. As it moves down away from the hinges the gap gets substantially larger. So it LEAKS and LOOKS B-A-D. Local distributor did nothing, and kept acting and pretending that they had addressed the issue. Nothing they could do, because they could not correct manufacturer defect. Local dealer refused to ship product back. No warranty with LEER despite the cheap talk and promise. If you do order a LEER, DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE LIKE I WAS REQUIRED TO DO. IF IT COMES IN DEFECTIVE TO THE LOCAL DEALER, WALK AWAY. Custom Trucks Unlimited, Columbus Georgia assured me that the "GAP" would be adjusted once mounted on the truck. Once mounted on the truck, they assured me that the huge GAP would not leak, of course it leaks. One place you can see daylight about the size of a very large quarter. Overall: expensive, leaks and warranty not honored.

[@CharlesinGA]

I know its 10 months since you posted this, but I had the same problem on a Leer top I bought used for a third gen Ram longbed ('03-'09). What I did to fix it was make some blocks from half inch thick plastic that were cut to fit snugly in the rear stake pockets, and then through some clever clamping, drilling, etc, I screwed them to the Leer top and now they keep the top from spreading, as they are set down into the stake pockets. I cut out the double bulb seal on the bottom where the blocks are attached. Top no longer moves around, and the clamps don't get loose.

[@-ira-9016]

I know it’s an old post, but I’ve got a leer topper on an 2003 Tacoma and sometimes the clamps work themselves just loose enough so when I go to shut the glass it actually pushes the whole thing like 1/8 or 1/4 inch. Just enough to put the clasps out of reach so the glass won’t latch. Other than that though, I’ve had it a year and it still works great, looks great and no leaks when everything is where it’s supposed to be

interesting how different people perceive different information. I would have thought Awesome a company that won't try to sell me a damaged top and wants to correct the flaw before delivery to the customer. Interesting. Any top could get damaged in shipping, Not ARE's fault by manufacturing.

[@clintprice2123]

They don't make the windows themselves so it's not their manufacturing/quality issue you can bring it to corporates attention but a crooked screw isn't a deal breaker in my book. The paint under the window is it a deviation in the fiberglass or is it in the paint? I've seen ripples in a Corvette too. The screw head sticking up is possibly from being too thick, I'd ask them to address it by either a slight tightening or take a metal file to it and and couple of passes and you're perfect. Not that you should have to, clean the rust and either clear nail polish it or a q-tip and black rustoleum. I am self employed for 41 years in fine carpentry and cabinetry where the customer wants it dead perfect so you can tell where I MUST finish my work every job every day. Now with that being said I think your not really being reasonable as there isn't anything you pointed out bad enough to say it's no good. Did you call or point out in person your concerns? Did they refuse to correct anything? If snug top was so good why did you change brands this time?That bottom of the window is a hinge, not in the traditional sense but it is. These things you've shown here are things you had to search for, they aren't glaring issues that even I would complain about and I have an eye for doing everything well. I'd run my screws straighter, check the opening and closing fit clearance etc but then again I'm not assembling things in a factory at or about minimum wage. One other point is even if you took the same paint from the truck and spayed the cap they will always be a touch off as they (truck/cap) are made of different materials, a different gun, and a different painter and application technique, go ask any high quality body shop.You have a nice truck and cap so enjoy it, two years and it's still looks great.

Break a rear glass and chuck the whole topper. Leer needs to pull its head out of its ass but we all know the authorized dealers are throwing 100% $ on top. Glass is 90 bucks on its best day. To the wrecker with mine. Oh and ill make my own cover just too fuck buying one if a latch breaks the whole thing is garbage...
