    I'm looking to switch from the OEM tonneau cover to a Snugtop Rebel. I'm planning to keep the tonneau cover in my garage until I know for sure that I want to keep the shell. Do I need to put new, uncut bed rails under the shell to avoid leakage or will I be okay with the rails that already are cut out for the tonneau?

    Anyone? Bueller?

    I might be able to get the shell tomorrow.

    Buddy took the oem tonneau off his truck and had a cap put on. Left the cut up bed rail caps on. More of a eyesore than anything.

    I bought new cap rails, $115.00 each. Sold the tonneau as a package,$500.00.
