    Broke a part of the frame for mine as it was hanging up, thought the canvas was bunching up too much. With a snap, went down. Evidently the frame end that the pin goes thru to attach the framework to the bed rail was hanging up on a sliding tie down. So, make sure those are out of the way of the end of the frame when folding the topper to the front. Just ordered the broken piece, $35 shipped. By the way, I hate Toyotas rail system.

    What is the sliding tie down? I don’t think there are any sliding parts on my Softopper.

    Sorry, referring to the Toy bedrail system.
