Ask and ye shall receive!

Hey Don,

I bought a crappy old aluminum topper because it had a rear slider and my existing topper did not. I took the slider out of the "new" topper, and put it in my topper. I took all the other windows out before I took the topper to the recyclers'.

Do you want to buy a rear hinged window, solid front window, and (2) crank-open side windows? Cheap?

I was into the original topper for $25. I got $2. Yes, $2 for 40 lbs. of aluminum scrap. I also have a nice new front slider that is worth at least $40 new. Make me an offer I can't refuse, and the windows are yours! (My wife will love you, because she says the windows are in her way!)
