    If you leave it out in the sun it will stretch more and make it a little easier. Looks great!

    Mine doesn't sit that close to the tailgate, I mounted it pretty far forward to reduce the gap between the cab and the topper.

    This topper is pretty old, the guy told me it was the original design so I guess they made some changes later on. I put some Velcro down on the top of my tailgate to hold the flap in place.

    And yeah the windows are pretty dirty and scratched up lol. Not bad for $120 though! Was looking at new ones a couple weeks ago and they we're about $700 shipped

    I may mount it a little further back so the corners line up though. Just worried it may create a big awkward gap between it and the cab

    Softoppers have clips and straps to roll up and hold the sides and back.

    Also, for us soft topper people. I was having a lot of trouble keeping the flap that's near the rear window in between the bed and the cab. The wind would always jam it halfway into the bed. So I slapped some Velcro there and now it stays put. And @eon_blue 120 is a killllllller deal. Congrats!

    Now how about all us first gens with toppers have a whittle photo shoot :D

    Down:)

    I had the same problem I have a drop in bed liner that's ribbed everywhere so velcro I don't think would have worked that for me so I got some screw in type snap buttons to keep it in place. Also instead of velcro for the back rear flap I just put a magnet strip and it keeps it in place and tight to the tailgate as well.

    Yeah I hadn't heard of it before until yesterday. I need to get some... My topper isn't very pretty anymore. Will it help bring it back to life or is it just a preventative measure?

    Good idea, I have the rough texture spray Bedliner, but the Velcro stuck right to it. The 15lb 3M type

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I thought it says not to apply to cloth? I could be wrong...

    I use it on my interior. Makes it feel great. Just make sure it's cleaned good before you put it on. No use covering up dust and junk

    The directions and such say something about applying on a hot day as the fabric will expand. :notsure: Looks good!
