Show me your shell!

anyone have issues with the back corner of their cap cracking where it meets the tailgate. Im assuming its rubbed a few times and the fiberglass cap is very thin there, now i have cracking paint. its only 2 years old, was told its not covered under warranty because of normal wear n tear.
how can I prevent this from getting worse?

 

I think the only way would be to sand it down, maybe some sort of filler that works on fiberglass, and repaint it.

 

Looks like your cap is slightly forward of where it wants to be. Kinda like its riding up on that corner.

 

Agreed

 

Ya I would say that is not mounted correct. If the dealer did that I would be pissed if they would not cover it...your not going to be able to fix that unless your good at fiberglass repairs.

 

I have seen caps move after a 'collision' or a hard 'bump'

 

beauty!

 

Anyone got any good photos of 2nd gens with utility shells? Might pick one up tomorrow but I wanna know how it's gunna look before I make the drive

 

Utility...as in contractor? @fatfurious2

 

I had one. Don’t have it anymore. Here are some shots!

 

Anyone with a leer have trouble with there sides staying locked? My right side always pops unlocked.

 

Have you checked to make certain that it’s square and not tweaked a bit? That’s what caused that issue for me.

 

Are you talking about the lever? I keep having to move the part it clips to forward

 

Dang it looks good but I can't decide if I should go for it or not

 

Because our beds flex by design it’s easy to tweak a canopy by over tightening it. I use bulb seal and don’t completely crank the fasteners to allow the canopy to go back to the correct position after. Makes a huge difference on a truck driven regularly on terrible roads or off-road.

 

Very good point never thought of that ill have to check the,squarness of it.

 

I have this same issue with the left side. Went back to the dealer and they adjusted the latch but it still happens at times. not often but still happens. With G.T.'s suggestions, can you please post a pic of what you adjusted and if it helped?

 

Hey @chasecamper, here is @fatfurious2 's shell on a much less capable truck

 

Once i get home ill give it a try, I did the same exact thing as you did. And still after he fixed it still does it. My guy said don't slam it, which I don't. But even after it still moves I carry a torx now in there to fix it when I go anywhere as I carry a lot of shit in the back,
