I'm looking for others that have this cover to answer some questions. Before I start, let me say that I have contacted RealTruck and have been happy with their response. I just need to know if what I'm seeing is normal. That will help me figure out what I need to do.
The lip that extends off the back of the rolling part of the cover sits about 1/2" above the top of the tailgate. It would seem that it shouldn't have that much gap, but I don't see how I could get it to be any less since the rails are on the bed rail caps and level. The rails are as far forward as they'll go which is where they have to be to get the tailgate to close. Even at that it's a very tight fit. The rolling cover is back as far as it can go and still latch, but the seal below the lip on the back of the cover doesn't reach the tailgate. The flaps on the rolling part go just past the end caps on the rails and the flaps capture them, so it looks like it's right. The gap concerns me because I can lift up on the back of the cover and pull the wire to unlock it with the cover latched and the tailgate closed. It's tight, but it's not hard to do. Also the end caps for the rails set lower than they should. You can twist them so they are flush with the t-slot on the outside or so they are captured by the flaps on the inside.
Is this normal?
