Love the ideas of this bed cap. 200# seems comparable to a fiberglass topper.It's fairly light (about 200 lbs) and sits essentially within the same wind profile as the cab. I suspect it will be a very minimal penalty if any at all (I think the turbulence of the open bed would be worse).
Can you tell if the water leaks are from the perimeter or the seams?Well, it leaks. A LOT. I'm sure it's install related, and I can see some roll to parts of the gasket that sits on the bed sides, so I think they set it down and then slid it rather than setting it straight down. I am waiting to hear back from the shop but assume I will have to take it in sooner than later for a retry Almost there...
From the gasket between the canopy and bed, not from where the panels connect to one anotherCan you tell if the water leaks are from the perimeter or the seams?
Also, does RSI now supply the proper wiring to attach to the Lightning - previously it said no harness included ?
No leakage evident from the vent so far. Seems well engineered.I would think the "positive pressure vent" on top would cause some extra turbulence, but, like you say, an open bed would be worse. Any rain leakage from that area?
The third brake light...very involved instructions show using cabling, connectors, and fuse inside the cab. I wonder why they do not clip onto a trailer connector light wire?
Unfortunately after the second 'install' it still leaks quite a bit. I reached out to SmartCap and discovered that the South African holiday runs from December 15th through January 8th so I guess I am in a holding pattern with a leaky lidupdate ?
