Cap's On

[Zilverado]

So I found this "Glastite" cap locally in the internet classifieds (www.kijiji.com). The guy was originally asking $325, now $275 OBO so I got it for $250.

The cap is in pretty good condition, with sliding front and side windows (with screens). No cracks in the fiberglass. Some of the weatherstripping around the windows cound be replaced, and the clear coat is pealed off on a very small portion of the roof, but it's high enough to be unseen. I think I may just sand it a bit and spray bomb it with clear to help protect the fiberglass.

I'm thinking I may want to paint it white to match the truck at some point, but the truck needs body work as well, so it's all good for now.

So, does anyone out there have any tricks/techniques for removing/handling these caps by yourself? I'm thinking I may leave it on the truck for a while, but I also like the "open-box" look.
