Leer Topper ID

[haleme]

I just picked this used Leer topper up this weekend. Outside of needing a new paint job and a weather seal on the glass door, it is in great condition.

I think it is for a quad cab as the topper line does not quite follow the cab. I'm ok with that because everything else lines up perfectly.

My question is, what model is this? I can't figure it out. The windows have a date sticker from 2012 and there is a serial number, but nothing else.

It's a Leer 100XR.

I have one on my truck.

Thanks! That is what I was leaning towards. What does the door seal look like on yours? Is is molded plastic like I see on the Leer website, or a rubber sweep?

Mine is rubber. By my shell is 10 years old, so no idea how many design changes could have happened since then.

Thanks again. What about the seal that attached to the glass and makes contact with the tailgate. I'm missing that one.

I don't think mine has a seal there. There's a lip that protrudes far enough to cover the upper face of the tailgate, with a drip edge on the back. No seal is needed, since the water can't run uphill.

I'll double check when I get home from work this afternoon, but I don't remember ever seeing a seal under that ledge thing.

Now that I'm zooming in on your pic, kinda looks like there is a gap there. Like you are missing that ledge/cover thing.

I think yours is missing the big fiberglass part that covers the tailgate, on the lower edge of the glass.

Leer used both a seal on top of the tailgate and also a part that covers the top of the tailgate. I think when I bought my Leer 100XL back in 2015 that the sales guy stated the tailgate seal was a new feature for Leer along with a power lock that's tied in with the tailgate. I remember the sales guy saying the previous style of tailgate seal was prone to breakage as there was a part that attached to the tailgate.
This is a close up of the tailgate cover on mine. I have the 100XL which is next step up from the 100XR.

I knew it was missing something there, just didn't know exactly what.

I have been looking online for either weatherstripping or the molded piece, but realized I needed to know the model of the cap. Is this fiberglass piece a part that must be ordered through a Leer dealer?

Sorry, I forgot to go take a pic of that piece until just now.

It does have a rubber seal like Crash68 mentioned above.
