Just got my granite crystal as well!

(Quality of the top is horrible/trim issues/etc) but overall I’m pleased.

looks great...I agree ARE needs to step up their game These are NOT cheap and it takes so freaking long to get one after you order it should be perfect..I will say I am very pleased with mine and no issues like you and some others have but my flip down front window seal is so sloppily installed water just pours in. Dealer resealed it and it still leaks less but still leaks..this is a Lippert window that is really poorly designed that weep holes are too high and too small so the trough fills up and floods into the shell. Dealer ordered a new window assy which takes 1 month at least to get (why??SMH) and hopefully they have it figured out...which they should already figured out as they have been making these forever!

I have had issues with the QC of mine as well but I love it too much to drop it off and reverse charges. Although the dealer told me I was “more picky” than most customers. I’d still like the sealed to be… sealed and the rear door not to be gouged and touched up.

Granite Crystal owner here. I'm not normally a fan of the body color matching tops, but with the matching cap it looks really good.

Question - can you easily open the tailgate without opening the rear cap door? On the RSI Smartcap it looks like you have to open the cap door before the tailgate.

Thanks!

I think that is the case with most caps these days. Tailgates aren't straight anymore and they all squeeze pretty hard to make as good a seal as they can.

nice! I have the same color Mojave. Did you lift it? What size tires are those? They look taller but not wider which is something I'm considering. Have not plans/need to lift though...
