    Does anyone know where I can get factory bed rail caps without the cutout for a 2021 short bed? I'm just trying to avoid ordering them from a dealer. Maybe there's an aftermarket set of rail caps out there that I can't find? Thanks ahead of time.

    I'd think ones from any 16 - 23 short bed would fit.

    Most all double cabs are short beds.

    Salvage yards is where I'd start looking.

    Price them from some online sellers / local dealer so you know what a fair price for used might be.

    Thank you for the help. I really appreciate it. Do you or anyone else know how they are attached to the bed itself? Are they just clipped in or bolted in? Thanks again

    I like to sleep in my truck.
    Use a thicker and slightly curved, plastic pry bar to help. And go down the bar popping off the clips 1 at a time. I've seen guys yank it up just from one end and they snap. If you need pictures Google something like "tacoma bed sealing/waterproofing" or i can take a picture for you.
