I can believe that an aero topper would not sell. My aero topper has been on the truck for almost seven years. In that time, a several dozen people have recognized what it does, and have seen the benefits of a lifting lid. A few (3 or 4) have asked where I bought it, under the impression that it was commercially built.

Nobody, not one person, has indicated a desire to have a similar topper on their truck. I contacted Leer at one time and asked about aero toppers. They said they had looked into it, and did not see a demand.
