Let's See Some Softoppers

Yes. I was hoping they would just make me pay shipping

 

No, you're right. Mine is 3 years old now...looks like the bedrails were upgraded to a more functional design. I'm rolling to Softopper on Tuesday to query it.

 

The ones I got say goodbye with the rear of the front rail

 

Got it also done except for the seal sealer

 

I haven’t done the seam sealer either. Mine doesn’t leak at all.

 

I found mind only leaks where the straps are sewn on. sealed it up but hasn’t rained yet to test it.

 

Installed mine this morning... Letting the sun heat it up so I can tighten everything down before I do the Velcro and snaps

 

Is there anyone who didn't put the Velcro on the tailgate?

 

I didnt

 

How does it do at high speeds? Any issues ?

 

It flaps in the back, I just figure I’m airing out stuff. It annoyed me at first, but I got past it.

 

Same here

 

I didn’t. It flaps in the wind. I just tuck it between the metal pole and the tailgate

 

I didn't.

It lifts up and down (slow flap I guess) at highway speeds. Hasn't been an issue.

 

Ditto. I didn't. I've got 50k miles on mine.

 

I just adjust the rearview so I don't see the rear window flapping.

 

Mine didn’t come with Velcro...

 

I went ahead and added it to the tailgate for now. I do a lot of driving at 70+

 

I put a strip of clear 3m vinyl along the top of the tailgate, this will prevent paint wear. I bought a roll of magnet and attached velcro to one side of it and stuck the magnet along the velcro strip of the rear window. Its not a super strong bond, but I haven't had any issues with the rear window flapping.

 

That's cool. What kind of magnets did you use?
