Dmouton, did u remove the “leer emblem and writing” off the back glass of the cap?

Yes I removed the words Leer that was right above the handle. The emblems are still on the side just because they are sunk in and don't want the empty indention where they would be. Yesterday I also removed GMC and Sierra off the tailgate.

I just picked up a leer 100xr for my 2020 trailboss. Can anyone with leer cap post some close up pictures of the rear door open and closed, specifically the side corners. Seems like the door of mine is not closing fully due to excess weather strip, or it being improperly trimmed weather strip. Thanks

That is a beautiful looking truck and cap combo! Stylish lines and windows that really match your truck glass!  Any chance you can get us pics of the rear curved glass on this Revo? There are no pics that I have been able to find for this cap on the ARE website for these new body style '19-'20 1500 GM trucks. 

Excellent choice adding the top rack, the items you can load up there are amazing! Extremely versatile.

I’ll try to get some more pictures for you later this week. If I’m honest, I’m not overly impressed with the curved back glass being that much better. I personally prefer the bottom on the CX Classic with the attached lip, but I wanted keyless entry.

Thanks nycen. Will look forward to those pics when you get a chance to post them. I could not find a single ARE dealer in my area who had a Revo in stock so I could look closely at that curved back glass. Seems like most ARE and Leer dealers in the area are happy to handle 2 or 3 cap styles and know very little about the rest of the caps from that company. There just aren't that many choices in caps for these new style GM trucks. But there definitely are more choices available than a year ago. Bought the new truck in mid January. I was shocked at the limited number of caps available when I started looking. Thanks to this forum and the amazing amount of information provided by the members, I was able to find out far more than I could from either Leer or ARE. My thanks to all of you members, this forum rocks! 

Enjoy that great looking truck and cap of yours!

Well I finally got good weather since I got my Leer 100XL installed and was able to wash her for pictures finally. I've always had ARE Z Series but didn't like Z2. Ordered this and I like it better.

Are you able to use the multi-pro tailgate? Without opening the rear window? Can you still use the remote tailgate opening? Thanks looks great, hope to order one this week.

No, you have to open camper to use multi-pro gate. There won't be any camper top that allows this because there is a lip that covers the edge of tailgate. This also won't allow the remote tailgate opening, which none of that bothers me. You can open multi-pro gate then close rear window if you want though.

Just ordered my Leer XL today. They said 4-6 weeks...wowzeers. This is the first canopy I have ever bought and they sure don't give these things away...Pics when it arrives.

Mine came in within 2 weeks. Leer shells come in quicker than ARE. ARE took 7 weeks. I drove 1 hour to get my shell $600 cheaper than local dealer. It's sad that the local dealer wouldn't match the other dealers price since it was going to be my 3 shell purchasing from them. It wasn't on sale either, it was their regular price. Looking forward to your pics.

Ordered a Leer cap March 2nd. Projected lead time was 4 weeks. Dealer just called first thing this morning, cap arrived late yesterday. Going to get it installed today. So only 17-18 days!  Really thought it would be longer with everything that is happening right now! Hoping for the best to all of you guys with caps on order!

When you removed the GMC emblem was there a lot of adhesive left on the truck? Just watched a YouTube video and after the guy removed the chrome and red part there was a large black backing that held it on. If so how did you remove it?

There was a lot behind the GMC because it's so large. I also took Sierra off but it wasn't near as hard as the GMC. I used an eraser wheel attached to a drill. Made it really easy. On my other truck I sat there and rubbed it off with my fingers and after a while it's not so pleasant on the fingers. Eraser wheel first then sprayed a gunk remover and wiped clean. Don't leave any scratches. Bought mine on Ebay for $6.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
