New look for my truck - opinions welcome
#17
My original BakFlip was destroyed and I searched several tonneau covers and none would work because they had a hard end piece that had to either sit on top of or cover the standard tailgate lip and thus would not fit with the spoiler. To be fair, I did not look at soft covers. But the BakFlip works wonderfully with it.
It seals tight across the spoiler. It does leave a small - maybe 1/2 inch square opening on either side where the cover and the gate meet but this is easily made waterproof by the addition of a small piece of weather stripping to plug the opening.
Here's a pic...
I haven't plugged the hole yet because I don't carry anything routinely in the bed but when I do travel with luggage or something, the moisture getting in has been very minimal. I'll probably plug it before my summer travel season begins.

Doh! You're right of course, never thought of that. I tow a trailer very occasionally and just got used to leaving it there.
And I know a lot of you guys won't like the tail lights. It's a Chrome Edition Lariat so I decided to accent the chrome - that's why I went to the lights. I'm open to suggestions of something that would look better but don't want to black out and don't want red back there. Ideas?
