    I have an older truck with a top-of-the-line Leer camper shell on it. It normally unlocks with the truck key fob, but suddenly it won't unlock even though all the truck doors unlock! Any ideas how to get it unlocked? Thanks!

    Can you get inside at all either from the back window of the truck or the sliders on the side of the camper shell? Even if you cannot get all the way back there you could just use a pole from the backseat of the truck there's a little lever you can push up that will open it.

    That too, if it's the tear drop style one that i have the center part slides to the side to reveal the key hole.

    Don't have a key and I don't see any way to access a keyhole on the turn handle. Also, I can't access the interior via my trucks back window. It's a solid window and the front window of the shell is locked anyway. Attached is a photo of the lock. No part moves as far as I can tell.

    You should be able to flip the center part of the handle up where the Leer logo is.

    Hi. Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem. Key fob and auto locks suddenly stopped working and I can’t get my topper window open.
