    Can you post some pics of brackets of your Solid Fold back by the cab? When mine was installed at Ziebart it was over tightened, causing denting in the cab panel. Want to ensure everything was done correctly on their end with the install, do not want to over tighten again and get more dents being that there are tags that say over tightening with cause dents and will not be covered by the warranty. Do not have all the paperwork that came with the cover, will check the Extang site for anything downloadable regarding install. Thanks

    Sometimes you gotta try on half the closet to find something that fits your mood (and waistline).

    You definitely want the cab rail seals. You should also check tonneau alignment. I have found that sometimes if I'm 1/8" off front, back, left, or right, I get a tiny bit of water. Whenever I remove my cover, I'll be screwing around with realignment until it's just right.

    I have the cab rail seals, had to get them from Extang. There's a small seal that slides in above the panels, it came out when I replace the can panel so I'm thinking it may have got damaged putting it back in.

    Was supposed to wash and wax the truck this weekend, but I got sidelined by a bout of vertigo that came out of nowhere this week.

    Lounging with my puppies instead.

    So I finally got to see Civil War. Outstanding movie, nicely done. That kid they got for Spider Man was perfect. Chadwick Boseman did good as Black Panther. Their stand-alone movies will be good.

    So thanks to a good grooming, the "Kiki Monster" has gone from this:

    To this (on left):
    image.jpg

    Lucy has completely accepted Kiki into our "pack." They eat together, play together, and now they do puppy cuddle time together. There is some lap jealousy - even though there are plenty of laps to go around they tend to fight over the same one.

    Kids.
