Noticed today that for the third time, my set of bed rail caps is starting to buckle. WTF?
Bowing up right in the middle of the plastic caps. Just like last time and the time before that....

 

Ramulak..........im on my 3rd set since 09...........there like disposable, ive been looking for aftermarket metal ones, no luck......good thing the oem crappers are cheap!

 

This should fix the problem. Hopefully the link will come thru below.
You can get either chrome OR black, both are available for 4th gen ram trucks.
You`ll never get the plastic OEM ones to stay nice, best bet, replace them with metal ones.

LU Thanks. I think I will order a set of the black tread ones on Monday. They must mount the same way...with tape I guess. I hope they don;t scratch up too easily though.

 

They should hold up pretty good, they`re powdercoated. Even if they DO get scratched, can re-paint pretty cheaply.
Do a google search, DEEZEE isnt the only brand out there building them. Just type in "Dodge Bed Rail covers"

Yes, easy to put on, they have 3M tape on them.
Be careful what you buy, some of them out there just get installed ON TOP of the OEM plastic covers...!!!

 

Thanks LUU....and if they do get scratched up id use Rustoleum Truck bed coating on them, ive had alot of luck recoating items with it ,[such as crash bars,kickstands on my Harley, the fuel door and the black grill for the ram].The stuff is durable, and looks great, no wax needed IMO.....ill try and post some pics.

 

Does anyone happen to know the brands that completely replace the OEM ones? Do they also have a full replacement of the tailgate/spoiler? I can;'t tell if the Dee Zee sides go over or replace and their tailgate only covers a portion, leading me to think they go over.

Also, where is the best place to buy replacement OEM ones (may go that route as well).

 

I noticed almost every new 2013 had some warpage on the bed rails. This was new trucks on the dealer lots ??

 

Thanks For the Tip Lu, They look Great and hide the factory Warpage..

 

I have the deezee ones. They're not bad. They just 3M tape on with a front/rear bolt for added support on the inner rail (you have to drill). The rear is just 3M taped over the existing plastic. They look decent, but have a weird bend in the front corner that rubs against the paint. If I had the patience to rip them off and re-install them I'd bend that lip out a bit.
