    I've had the combo for about a year now and I still like it but there are a few things that could be done better. With my current usage commute/family hauling the tonneau is 95% or mote of what I use, however, for the rare times I want the topper it's great to be able to just put it up and keep the weather off the stroller, suitcases, etc. I haven't see much water in the bed when the topper's been up (driving for hours in the rain on the interstate) just a streak of water on each side of the bed that could be from the corners of the topper or could be coming through the corners of the bed itself. It's a soft top I wouldn't count on it keeping every bit of water out, for sensitive things I'll do some secondary water proofing (trash bags) before putting it directly on the metal bed. If there's enough non sensitive things to for a layer I just put the backpacks and bags on time and don't worry about trash bags.
    I did get the mesh window and the clips to roll up the sides but haven't used them yet, the house bear (dog) usually just rides in the back and hairs up the cab.
    All of my issues with the combo kit are nit picking details that could have been better: For the removable front and back windows (or screen) there is no center line marked that would make velcroing them together much easier. The long bar that keeps the tonneau done at the tail gate doe not fit tightly and there's about a 1inch gap between the cover and the tailgate (there might be adjustments that I just haven't done yet). The instructions were rather poor, the hardware kit had to many long bolts and not enough shorter bolts I had to get a few more shorter ones at the hardware store.
    My opinion overall is that it's a good product made with quality materials and good engineering for the structure I just would like some of the fit and finish details were more refined.
