    I got mine quicker than what they stated. Good Luck. Between the install video and the instructions it's not bad, I did it all by myself in a few hours. Make sure you get yourself some loc tight and the video also tells you the socket sizes.

    So I just installed mine except for the weather seals (waiting for warmer weather tomorrow), I was wondering if you added something to the tailgate in order to make it more secure? There seems to be a large gap between the cover and the tailgate, I know the weather seal will cover it but still doesn't seem very secure

    I had a small gap (~1/8") between the tailgate and the locking top. I only added the seal and it was tight, even from a power washer.

    The gap between my tailgate and the lid is about an inch larger then yours, the seal closes the gap but it isnt as tight as yours seems to be, i guess i need to go back and go over all my installation steps again :/

    Mine was nothing like that. The rubber seal was flush with my tailgate

    Lucky & Sparty, I have the G4 on a '15 dcsb that fits the same as Lucky's. The only difference I can think of is that Sparty is either missing the original plastic rails on the bed or maybe tailgate has a thicker top rail?

    I'm not missing the plastic rails, not sure about the tailgate thickness.
