    Yeah, I guess I just didn't check well enough in the store. No biggie, though, so far I don't mind that it's gloss. Matches the Curt hitch I just installed.

    Installed the OEM roof rack I got thanks to @Unchained 5150 and his hook up!

    Think I either did a crappy job, or maybe it's because some of the bolts were crappy and stripped rather easily, would not screw in correctly, or maybe it's just a "manufacturing defect", but the front of the rack does not sit on the cab like I think it should. Going to see if maybe I can get a new of bolts/screws and try to re-do it and see what happens.

    If I'm not the only one that has that issue, then it must be a common thing with it. Must just be the way that front is made. But I'll let you know. Heard back about the extra bolts, going to be getting those, so will try to remove the ones that are stripped and replace them, and see if I can mess with that front part a bit more and get it to sit better.

    Funny, every time someone posts about doing this, the % is different. My installer used 30% to get a very close match. Must be tolerance between film brands or something.

    Yeah I know. I did some research on here first and 30-35% was what I was reading a lot of people had. It turned out pretty good though and I am sure I will forget the percentage in a month anyway when someone asks me about it.

    What did you do to "fix" it? And if not, do you get water anywhere since it's not really down on the cab to "seal" that area?!

    Yeah I have 22% on the front. I also had some 50% put on the rear. Mine match pretty close.

    Thanks for the advice and the tip! What I was thinking of doing is, when I get the new bolts, I was going to take the entire thing off and put it back on again, basically re-install it and replace all the bolts, just in case. So will defineteily bend the brackets like you mentioned. The hardest part is going to be taking off the stripped ones... ouch.
