    My Tacoma is barely a month old and I’m loving it. Happy with my purchase. Haven’t been off roading yet. Decided on a shell. Went with Snugtop Rebel. After the install we had a wind driven rain storm from hell and you guessed it leaked at the front corners. Not too bad but It was a very windy storm but it was a bummer it leaked the first day. Any suggestions?

    from what i been told, it will leak no matter what. just the design of the bed and tailgate. could try some weather stripping but no guarantee.

    Welcome to the party.

    Hide yer wallet.
    This place can separate you from your money quicker than an ex-wife with a cocaine habit.


    In all seriousness.
    Copius amounts of silicone may be your answer to that leak.

    Very Funny Phoosa.

    I’m all tapped out with a recent purchase of a new 2018 Taco. When I told my wife about adding a shell she gave me the look like I hope I enjoy sleeping with it. I don’t a little water but was bummer it happened on the same day I put the shell on it
