As stated in my previous post, I was concerned about the fit when combining the OEM cargo box and the Kolpin rear panel/window. I received my Kolpin panel yesterday and gave it a try. In short...it isn't even close to working 
After installing the window, I put the cargo box back in the bed and tried to slide it forward to the mounting holes. Unfortunately, the box contacts the window before (about 1/2" short) it lines up with the holes. Then, even if that were not an issue, if you open the box...the lid contacts the window when opened just a few inches.
BTW: The window is touching at top of the center headrest, the roll cage below the center headrest and the lower seat belt bracket...so it can't get any closer either.
Here's the box touching the window. NOTE: The box still needs to go forward a bit before it lines up with the mounting holes.

Here's the lid as it touches when opening. Again, the box still needs to go forward.

The only way to make this work is to move the box, towards the tailgate, to the next set of mounting holes. But that would simply leave a void of wasted space in front of the box.
Crazy thing was that, when I bought it, the rep said he had talked with the tech department and was told that they had tried their window and the OEM box out before offering them....which was obviously BS!
Called customer service this morning and have not heard back yet...BUMMER!!!
