    Hi all,
    I just picked up a used Leer topper today for my ‘12 Tacoma and I had to remove the tailgate end cap piece to get the tailgate to close. Anyone else run into this issue and if so, is there a thin replacement option?
    Thanks

    The used cap you bought probably isn't specific to your 2012. Tailgate caps have varied somewhat over the years. I'd find out which year the cap is specifically designed for and try a tailgate cap to match the cap.

    OR... new caps have an adapter to fit various tailgate caps. It might be easier to buy a different adapter for the cap to fit your 2012.
