When you get a tonneau cover do you have to remove the tailgate protector? The bulky one that looks like a fin? Or do you just leave it on? I know My brother in law got a cap and they removed his but do they remove it when you install a tonneau? The top is sort of ribbed does it create an issue whit sealing good keeping water out? Any pictures out there on how it looks

 

what type of tonneau are you looking to get? For hard shells you might have to depending on if the tonneau rolls down over the top of the tailgate, but for a roll up or folding tunneau you probably wouldn't have to. I have an Access Lorado, and the tailgate protector stays.

PS. Nice truck... VV

 

I just put mine on and in the dierctions it didnt say to take anyhting off. I dont have one of those but put it on if it looks like there is an issue with it take it off.

 

Im looking at a roll up one.. Velcro style and my truck has the tailgate spoiler on it? I like the look of it and do not want to remove it but none of the sites says a thing or has a picture to show what it looks like when leaving the spoiler on.. Actually all they all show Chevys??? And I looked thru pictures on this site but no one shows the back of their trucks only sides and fronts not showing any with a view im looking for? Thanks

 

I have a factory liner on my 2004, when I installed a retrax tonneau cover, I had to trim the box liner at the front to accommodate the canister, but the tailgate cover was able to stay and actually helps the seal.

 

Thats what I just put on a velcro rollup and there is a little flap that goes on top of the tailgate ur tailgate spoiler will not be in the way of this at all il try to get a pic of it so you can see what im talking about.

 

I have the same tailgate protector on mine as well. I just bought and installed this cover after a ton a research. http://www.jcwhitney.com/truxport-ro.../p2010334.jcwx

Looks awesome on my truck and goes out towards the edge of the bedrail which helps to funnel water awat from the bed. You can't go wrong with this cover. Free shipping to boot!

Sorry, can't get the right link to paste. Go to JCwhitney and look at the Truxedo roll up soft tonneau cover! it is $299 shipped. That is the one I was talking about in above post.

I just got a hard tonneau cover today and it had to come off. I'm probably going to make a fiberglass "copy" cut it some and fiberglass it to the cover.

 

Nope, leave it on
