    I have been in that exact position before. The hard cover was locked and the keys for it disappeared somewhere on the job site. We needed the piece of crown moulding to finish a job we were working on so we did exactly what you see in the photo.

        Aftermarket hard top that locked into the top of the tailgate. You could unlock the tailgate but wouldn’t be able to pull it down.

        If memory serves me the hardtop keys were given to someone to get a tool and never returned to the driver.

            Unless you are carrying chemicals constantly and don’t want to be smelling the fumes all day.

              My renault came with a solid steel cargo barrier and small glass window. You could carry a lion in the back and probably be fine.

                You would trust your lungs to vehicle manufacturers getting every van air-tight with seals to last for many years?

              Millions upon millions of contractors in every country except the US would disagree

                Of course they would because they don’t need one for what they do. But I also imagine another few million around the world do. What you choose depends on what you need
