How big is the hole? Is it possible to fill the hole with some sort of RTV sealant without looking terrible for now? Your insurance is gonna charge you yor deductible whatever that is and the repair may only cost that much to begin with. I'd get an estimate from somewhere's before reporting that to your insurance.

 

Must be an installation issue (not that it matters now).

 

sh!tty. i wanna see some pics

 

yeah that sucks!! It has to be installation error!

 

rocket- the tab is probably steel cuz it supports the full weight of the fiberglass cover. and everytime i have opened and closed the cover over the past year it has rubbed against the cab. thats how it wore through the metal.

dirty- yeah i was thinking about that this morning. the hole is only like 1-2 inches across. im gonna go get some estimates from some body shops later this week.


mike- yeah i have always thought the cover was not quite square with the bed but i hadnt had any problems with it so i left it alone. now i wish i would have tried to straighten it out!!!!!

okla- i will go take some pics here in a few minutes and get them on here.

 

ok guys heres the pics i promised.

this one shows just how closely the cover fits to the cab.



heres the hole it has worn into the sheet metal of the cab



heres the tab that has worn the hole. and you can see all the junk in the back of the truck! lol



and heres the new sticker i just put on the back of her. you can also see how scratched up and ugly this cover is. if i sell it im probably gonna have my buddy re-paint it.

 

That really sucks!!! looks like a nice cover too!!

 

Those kinds of discoveries suck. About an hour ago I was washing my truck and realized that somebody sideswiped my front fender.

 

yeah its a pretty nice cover. but it looks like chit becuz of the freakin cats that love to jump on it and scratch it all to chit!!!!!

 

You know that is the first sign of a dying cat!!!!!
