    Hey how is your softtopper at the tailgate? Did you use Velcro or what? Mine seems like it barley overhangs the tailgate and I think it's going to blow in and allow a ton of dust inside

    I can snap a pic. But mine hangs off too. I dont have velcro on my tailgate. I have heard of guys inserting magnets in the topper, that way you dont need to stick anything on the tailgate. The problem i have is the window. I dont have the buttons so that portion always flaps inside the bed. I came up with a ghetto solution..lol...i put some rubber spacers between the bed and the cab and stuxk the flap in the middle. Hope that makes sense. Ill snap some pics

    Hiiii!!!! And welcome :)

    Looks similar to mine. I just riveted in 3 snaps in the bed for the front flap. I'm worried they might be a hair too low though. The snaps that are the farthest back are so hard to get. I don't want the topper to be too tight and wear down where the support arms are....if that could even happen

    Oh, I found a solution to the rear window on the topper. The previous owner had a bungee cord going through there and I didn't know what it was for and then I discovered that you can hook each end of it into the edges of the tailgate and it helps keep the window down way better than the zippers and velcro at each end.

    That was quite a run on sentence, but whatever :D
