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

LEER 100XL Hardtop in Silver (SLBR) for the 5th Generation RAM 1500 (2019–2024) requires specific attention to the RAM’s paint codes to ensure a “factory-perfect” match. For the “DT” body style, silver is one of the most popular colors for luxury-trim trucks.

1. Paint Code Identification (SLBR / Silver)

LEER uses factory-spec automotive paint. For the 5th Gen RAM, “Silver” usually refers to:

• Billet Silver Metallic (Paint Code: PSC): This is the most common silver for the Gen 5. It has a high metallic flake content that is notoriously difficult to match if the paint mix is slightly off.

• Ivory White Tri-Coat (PWD): Occasionally confused with silver in low light, but distinct. Always verify the PSC code on the driver’s side door jamb before confirming the order.

2. Premium Features of the 100XL

As LEER’s flagship “SUV-style” canopy, the 100XL is the ideal match for your high-end vehicle component focus.

• Seamless Glass: Features a large, curved frameless rear door and frameless side windows with twist-out vents and bug screens.

• Interior Finish: Comes standard with a full fabric headliner (usually in charcoal or black), which provides insulation and a premium feel compared to raw fiberglass.

• Integrated Lighting: Includes an interior LED dome light that can be wired to the truck’s bed light circuit.

3. Strategic Advice for Buy Mustang parts Ltd

• The “RamBox” Conflict: Just like the black version, this hardtop is not compatible with the RamBox Cargo Management System. The mounting rails of the hardtop occupy the same space as the RamBox lids.

• Keyless Entry Upgrade: For luxury buyers, the Remote Keyless Entry (integrated with the RAM key fob) is the most requested option. We recommend only stocking units with this feature already installed to command a higher margin.

• The “Billet Silver” Demand: Because Billet Silver is a high-volume color for the RAM Laramie and Limited trims, a pre-painted silver 100XL is a “high-velocity” inventory item compared to custom colors.

4. Inspection & Logistics

• Metallic Consistency: When inspecting a silver unit, check for “mottling” or “tiger-striping” in the metallic flake, especially on the large side panels. Premium buyers will reject a canopy if the metallic grain doesn’t flow consistently with the truck’s body panels.

• The “Skirted” Rail: The 100XL has a skirt that wraps over the bed rails for a cleaner look. Ensure the foam bulb seal is intact along the entire perimeter to prevent the fiberglass from rubbing against the RAM’s Billet Silver paint.

• Shipping Protocol: 1. Fiberglass Vulnerability: Silver shows scratches and chips more clearly than darker colors. Use high-tack protective film on all “skirted” edges before crating. 2. Crate Requirement: These must be shipped on a custom oversized wooden pallet with a protective cage. At approximately 350 lbs, they require a liftgate-equipped truck for delivery.
