Count me in as wanting a cargo top with windows. We currently haul sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, dogs, other small animals in our transit connect as part of our animal rescue. I'm hoping the slate will be it's replacement. I'll need a full partition or else I'm going to have goats trying to drive. :eek:

The cargo topper probably wouldn't have the sunroof either. The picture shows it with a roof rack. I think they should offer it with side windows, like a typical camper shell.
This is exactly what I want! A cargo topper with a roof rack. With side and back windows. Fingers crossed!

With a different wrap, of course.😉

Cargo kit with windows please. No sunroof, but roof rack option would be nice.
Yup. The last thing I’d ever do to my Slate is a sunroof of any kind. But I would love to add the GDO (goat driving option) that RJ mentioned.
On a more serious note, Slate would be smart to keep any/all initial options super simple the first several years. NO electronically driven motor things. All that can do is drive down customers reviews and ratings as they do with current vehicles. Doesn’t matter to many that their vehicle has reliably gotten them all over the map if the power lift gate or “smart tech“ window wipers are spazzing. Poor JD Power and CR ratings are often from factory installed option packages that buyers really didn’t want but in order to get this, you had to take that. $$$

In videos they call the two pieces on the back of the pickup cab as the "partition" (lower part) the "back glass" or "halo" (upper part).

I just want the lower part -- either the original partition or a replacement partition that installs there if that one can't be kept there when the shell is installed.

I mention this because a proper Cargo Kit might have a front-of-bed safety partition that goes to the roof.

I have a 4 part partition/cage in our garage from our Ford Explorer we bought online and bolted together to fit the space. Good for bringing our Rhodesian Ridgeback in the car because he wanted to be lap dog at 110 lbs and with a 2 year old in a seat it was a no starter.

One bonus about tooling down the highway in a Ford Explorer with heavy tint and a cage visible in the back is people tended to make way for us.
