That looks awesome, as far as fit goes it looks like you need to slide the rails further forward and out on the bed rail itself. To be more clear push the topper rail further out on the trucks bed rail. A point of reference on how tight mine is.
When i first got it:
A little settling and about a year of use:

just what i was about to say. i think i messed with rail position a few times before i liked the look.

also, if you tighten the straps too much, it can cause the fabric to look loose like that.

I had one on my06 for a while till it tore. My fault there though. But one thing that worked the shit out of me was it would flap like a mother against the back at highway speeds. Does it do that on yours? Sweet truck BTW. Got it dialed in dude.

Thanks man I'm pretty happy with it! I haven't had any issues with the flapping, either that or i just cant hear it...

Yea good point I don't hardly tighten my inside straps, mostly just the back ones to pull it closer to the end.

@Seattleskindoc Great question!

I'd love to chime in with some more information on top of what's been posted by @mesojdm and @JerryTaco ... Yes at Baja Designs (BD) we are at the high end of the price range and here are some of the reasons customers choose Baja Designs over the competitors:

ClearView -
https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/clearview.asp
With more useable patterns than any other manufacturer, ClearView® provides you with a light for every zone and a scientific method to the madness.
ClearView™ is our proprietary optics, which are computer designed in-house by Baja Designs’ team of racing engineers who have first-hand knowledge of the lighting needs of all types of drivers and riders. The best thing is most patterns and colors can be changed in a matter of minutes with our uService Technology.

uService -
https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/uservice.asp
Baja Designs unique use of O-ring seals instead of silicone allows users to change their beam pattern and lenses with ease. This makes for a quick and easy change between a variety of different patterns or colors. You have the ability to fine tune your lighting package to specific needs. Try that with our competitors and you'll be left in the dark without a warranty.

CopperDrive -
https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/copperdrive.asp
BD’s CopperDrive LED management system uses next gen circuit board and driver technology to safely run high powered LEDs at 100% power. 4 levels of thermal management transfer LED heat up to 3000% more efficiently and provide an extra layer of vibration isolation creating the highest performing and longest lasting LED light on the market. We drive our lights at 100% capacity to make sure you're getting all of the performance needed.

Manufactured in the USA -
Another reason why our costs are higher than competitors is we try to keep as much as possible in the US. We average 65-75% US Content and our goal is to keep the number high. Here in San Marcos we have 3 CNC machines working on housings, bezels, end caps, for a wide variety of products from our S8 LED Light Bar all the way to the Lp9! The only things outsourced are very minor components where the cost would be too high to manufacture here (Rock Guards, Lenses, etc.)

On top of this our LED/HID Lights are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty giving you complete purchase protection against manufacturer defects. This gives you peace of mind knowing you're covered for many years of use and abuse in the dirt or on the street.
https://www.bajadesigns.com/help/warranty-policy.asp

Above is just a few reasons why customers choose Baja Designs (BD) and why our costs are a little bit higher than most. We put nothing but quality components into our lights in order to provide you with the best lighting in the industry that will last many years. Let me know if you have any questions.

Indeed! Bailey took care of 1 of my YouTube Subscribers and Taco owners on his lights. He was thoroughly impressed with the service and the product performance.
