LEER 100XL Hardtop for Dodge RAM Gen 5 Crew Cab (5.7 ft Bed) BLK

at Buy Mustang parts Ltd, the LEER 100XL Hardtop for the 5th Generation RAM 1500 (2019–2024) is a premier addition to the performance truck segment. This canopy is specifically engineered for the “DT” body style (New Body) and provides the high-end SUV aesthetic that luxury truck owners demand.

1. Key Features & Aesthetics

The 100XL is LEER’s “SUV-style” flagship, focusing on seamless lines and premium glass.

• Frameless Design: Features a curved glass rear door with hidden hinges and recessed, frameless side windows with twist-out vents.

• Interior Standards: Includes a black headliner (to match high-trim RAM interiors), a 12V LED dome light, and an insulated roof to reduce cabin noise.

• Paint Match: For the BLK (Black) variant, LEER uses Axalta automotive paint to match factory RAM colors like Diamond Black Crystal (PXJ) or Brilliant Black (PXR) perfectly.

2. Technical Fitment & RamBox Compatibility

• The “RamBox” Constraint: IMPORTANT: Standard hardtops like the 100XL are generally not compatible with the RamBox Cargo Management System. The RamBox lids open upward, and the hardtop rails sit exactly where those lids need to clear.

  • Action: If your customer has a RamBox bed, you must source a specialized “RamBox-compatible” shell (which often sits inside the rails) or advise them that a hardtop is incompatible with their bed storage.

• Split-Tailgate: If the RAM has the 60/40 Multifunction Tailgate, verify that the 100XL has the correct rear door skirt. A standard hardtop door may interfere with the unique split-hinge operation.

3. Strategic Advice for Buy Mustang parts Ltd

• The “Keyless Entry” Upsell: One of the most popular upgrades for the 100XL is the Remote Keyless Entry. This allows the customer to lock and unlock the hardtop using their existing RAM key fob. Stocking units with this feature pre-installed is a major selling point for luxury buyers.

• Roof Rack Integration: The 100XL is often ordered with Thule Tracks pre-installed. This allows owners to add Thule WingBars for overlanding gear, bikes, or kayaks, making the truck even more versatile.

• Installation Logistics: A 100XL for a 5’7″ Crew Cab weighs approximately 350 lbs. It requires at least four people or a mechanical lift for safe installation to avoid damaging the fiberglass rails or the truck’s bed paint.

4. Shipping & Handling

• The “Skirted” Edge: The 100XL features “skirted” edges that wrap over the bed rails for a cleaner look. These edges are the most vulnerable to chipping during shipping.

• Packaging Protocol: 1. Wooden Crate: Never ship a fiberglass hardtop in just cardboard. It must be bolted to a custom wooden pallet and crated. 2. Suspension Packing: The glass is “frameless,” meaning it has no metal border to protect it. Ensure the crate has at least 4 inches of clearance between the glass and the crate walls.
