I was wondering if a hard tonneau cover off a 2007 will fit my 04? Thanks in advance!

 

yea as long as it wasnt made for the tailgate spoiler

 

What do you mean by tailgate spoiler?

 

I would believe he would be referencing the big black plastic piece that goes across the top of the tailgate. Protects it from excessive abuse.

 

well its really for aerodynamics. I guess they figure they could throw a semi wing on our big blocky trucks and say it had a spoiler haha

An 07 most likely has a tailgate spoiler. Some tonneaus have a replacement for the spoiler and some go over it.

 

I have a hard-top fold tonneau that goes right over the tailgate spoiler. and I believe its fitment is 02' to 08'

 

Correct answer.

06+ came with a spoiler type of tailgate cap that extends back 2-3" vs fitting flush with the top of the tailgate. If your tonneau from the 07 was designed to fit over that factory tailgate spoiler it will hang out too far on the 04 without it. You will have a pretty big gap underneath and it will look awful( i.e. will hang over the tailgate too far plus contoured to fit around the spoiler no longer there ).

Most tonneaus require you remove that spoiler tailgate cap and replace with a traditional flush cap. If the tonneau from your 07 is that style then it will fit the 04 fine.

Here is what I am talking about. I will show you using some older pictures of my truck( 08 )...

Spoiler Tailgate Cap( notice how far back it sticks out ):


Replacement Traditional Cap( fits tight to tailgate ):



Traditional Tonneau( notice how close to tailgate it sits - wouldn't work with spoiler ):
