[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 392236, member: 337"] If they both protect the top of the gate then the next issue to examine is ruggedness. The ARE entire back window frame was rugged fiberglass - the Leer parts used to be separate chunks of plastic. Those various parts broke ALL THE TIME if frozen chunks got slammed into the gap between the window and the tailgate or if owner needed to get into the back when welded shut with ice, etc. I know on mine the little shelf of fiberglass that forms to protect the whale's tail can get a few inches of ice/snow that makes it too heavy for air shocks to hold the window up. It can be very irritating - and a guy doesn't want to go smashing the ice/snow because it might damage something. It seems like the new "bubble" design would maybe allow far less snow/ice to accumulate on the bottom of the window since there's no prominent shelf? Preventing that "heavy shelf" effect? [/QUOTE]
