Finally Found a Camper Shell for my 87 Long Bed Ranger...woohoo...BUT!!!!!!!!!!

Your rear window looks just like the one I had on one of my Rangers. The issue in my case was someone lifted the topper by the rear window. You have the same creases in the frame that we had.

Topper really need 4 individuals to remove/install; weight isn't the problem. It's lift points/balance and height that you need to lift it/desire not to get fingers pinched/inability to see what the other individual is doing when installing.

I just lived with it as I was going to break the rear window if I did anything to it.

Solution - find a short box topper with a good window (they are way more common). Drill rivets, out out both, put the good window in yours, the bad back in the short box topper and sell the damaged short box top at a loss commensurate with what you value the window.​

Trying to find a camper shell from a company no longer in business isn't going to be easy LOL. I think I'll pull the window next weekend and drill out the rest of the rivets and put new ones in, at least hold it together till I find a solution LOL. I think bouncing around on the road it'll cause the rest of that hinge to fail.
