snugtop - tailgate won’t close?

I mean it closes
But hits and scratches on the right side. DCSB snugtop 2nd gen

anyone dealt with this before? I’ll ask a shell shop.

Current mods are KBvoodoo bedside caps, Relentless tailgate skin

i can’t move the shell more left. And the panel gap on the right of the tailgate is bigger than the left.
Both the relentless skin and tailgate itself appear to be hitting the shell.

not sure if the side to side tailgate position can be adjusted with washers, or if the bed is potentially crooked (even from factory) on the frame. Or if the issue can possibly be fixed by loosening the Torx bed bolts and shifting the bed right until the tailgate is centered.

 

What’s preventing you from moving the shell over to the passenger side an 1/8”-1/4”?

 

Do you have a bunch of weight on top of the shell? Maybe those bed stiffeners would help?

 

the stiffeners I already have shown in the pictures?

They did seem to pull the bed into a certain shape during install; not sure if that’s good or bad

I think the bed is simply shifted whether stock or over time and I need to loosen the bed bolts to re adjust it
