so i took the cover off the back of my truck today. it turns out that whoever installed it before i bought it must have screwed up the install. the mounts clamp underneath the bedrails and are adjustable depending on the size of the bed. they had it slid to far forward so thats why it was rubbing on the cab. heres some better pics of the damage and pics of the truck without the cover. enjoy!!

oh and excuse the dirt. i am not gonna really wash it until the pollen slows down. for now its just hose and go!!!! lol

heres where it had worn the paint off all the way down to the metal



heres the other side. not as much paint worn off but you can see the hole really well now.



heres a side shot



and a shot from the rear (wow! I really just said that!!!! lmao)



heres a shot where you can see the spray in liner pretty well.

 

I feel your pain, when i bought my truck the PO had the same issue. When he installed the topper wrong it rubbed the paint off the back of the cab right below the window on either side, might want to put a lil rattle can on it to keep it from rusting.

You see that sometimes on trucks with rear sliders, they will push them as far forward as possible that way they can have their slider open and wont have a big *** gap between the toppers slider and the trucks. But in your case it just looks like he screwed it up

 

yeah. im gonna hit the hole with some rust inhibitor and then both sides with some black rattle can. then im gonna fill the hole with some rtv. i am trying to sell the cover and once i do that i am planning on buying a black tool box.

 

wow trees are all ready spawning to coin a phrase lol But that not the truck in your signature is it??oh yeah i see it tough break bud

 

Yea i just sold my tool box, i had to put my ragtop cover back on my truck. Iv been working in a crappy area lately and if people see a open bed full of crap they get sticky hands.

 

drive out to seatown and I'll sell you mine

 

rocket - yeah that is the same truck bro. and yeah i officially hate pine trees!! in two days my truck went from black to yellow!!!!! lol

yakkier - yeah i had a bunch of tools and stuff under the cover so now they are riding in the back floorboard until i can get a toolbox!! lol for the most part around here the crackheads dont screw with my stuff cuz i know them all, they know im a cop, and they know im freakin crazy, and they know i own guns!!!!! lol

 

lol sorry joe!!! to far!!! although i could use a good road trip!!!!

 

lol nice, must be nice but i doubt even being a cop would save you on the north side of minneapolis they just dont give a damn there, i worked for comcast at one point and my company truck was broken into 3 times in 1 month with in a 4 block radias of each other.

I got smart the first time and started putting all my own tools in a hide away that fit inside the floor of the bed, i will say one thing about GMC they come up with some crazy **** when it comes to utility trucks.

 

haha, any side of Minneapolis will jack your car lol. Better yet, west st paul
