Purchased as a gift for me.

Guys be careful what you say around yer Wimmins.

One time, had a small leak around the rear window, and commented.

I know it's a common problem, and a pain to fix.

My Lovely bought me this;

A GTS Blade Shade for the Gladiator.

Hesitated putting on because of the tonneau, at least that's what I had said.

As the tonneau is off for the bodywork, and the awaiting part, it was suggested this would be a great time to install.

She's so excited.

It's on, and she loves it, and I love her for thinking of me.

What say you?

Instructions were completely wrong, too small to attach to the top. The right size for the glass.

Not my cup of tea, but good on you for being a sport and putting it on. "Happy Wife" and all that.
I'm curious how the view would be through the rear view? May be a good reason to say "thanks, hon- but the designers sure didn't think about visibility"....that way it's harder for her to take personally? I for one would think that would be very dark (not to mention perhaps distorting?). Then again, I'm looking through a dark tunnel caused be the factory tinted rear window PLUS the factory tinted tailgate glass on my RSI topper so maybe I'm biased towards worrying about it.

It looks absurd but you bet it would be on mine if my wife did the same. That said, after the very first rain I’d say my love, it’s incredible, the mere act of me applying pressure while installing the blade you got me fixed the leak.

Wait another few days.

oh, stangest thing, I got a warning today by a plain clothes officer walking by my truck while I was getting out. He said I’m lucky I hadn’t been pulled over yet for my blade because it obscures vision.

Play the long game on this man for sure but start now man, it’s critical you get that off as soon as possible.

Great advice there.

If she's happy, just leave it and see how long it stays on. You'll get used to it being there. ;)

It's on the glass, so should it come off, easy to clean the residue. "Honey it was so sweet! Yet, if they can't make it to stay on, and you watched me properly install it. No point in getting another one."
