Leer 100XQ

hi all, if you have a leer 100 xq on 2nd gen tacoma can you shoot me a picture of how it is sitting? where the cap meets the bed front corners. should the cap be touching paint!? i included how mine looks... please lmk if it’s proper. thank you!

 

Doesn't look right. Will the shell push toward the cab any more and still have the rear door fit? Here is my '06 with a Leer. The correct Leer for your year and cab is a very good fit. I found the fit to be so good they almost position themselves with just a little adjustment room.

 

Here's what mine looks like. Not touching the paint at all. Can't say for sure, but it looks like yours needs to shaft towards the cab a little bit.

 

What does the other side look like?
It also looks like it’s maybe not far enough forward.

 

i think i know my issue. i think it’s because it’s sitting too low. i don’t have whatever foam tape shown in the picture. also, the brother that sold it to me sent me picture of his truck front bed. guess i’ll be calling a shop later.

 

looks...98% good haha

 

Yes, you should have at least one layer of tape along the bed between the cap and bed. What you circled on mine is 2-3 layers that the installer put on mine at that particular location to help seal teh gap where the steel body meets the composite bed. That's a well known location for leaks. He also put a bead of clear silicone caulk in the joint before putting the tape on. The tape is kind of bunched up over the years from things moving a bit, but I thiunk you get the idea.

 

leer dealer had to cut it. gotta tough up paint now.

still think i can take a little more off...

what do y’all think?
