My truck has factory installed plastic side rails leaving front rail approx. 3/8" lower. Is cover seal extra thick to compensate for this difference?

Cover will not compensate for the 3/8" difference. You could probably fill it in with a rubber strip. Maybe call the manufacturer and ask if they might have another solution.

My truck was the same and the cover seal fits just fine. The only problem I had was I had to cut some of the rail off on the inside of the bed cause the four posts that hold it together didnt fit snug. You might have to do the same thing. It wasnt hard and didnt take long, but just something I didnt expect.

Yes, the cover comes with an extra seal strip you add to the front of the cover over the front rail to take care of any difference between the front and sides

On my 2008 gmc sierra hd it's about 2 1/2" - 3". It is not the same top and bottom as the rear window slopes on my truck

While I didn't take it off to measure it, by eyeballing it it looks to be no thicker than 3/4 of an inch, at the most (probably closer to 5/8"), and that's with the head of the mounting bolt protruding. I didn't use the plastic bolt included, as it was cheap and basically useless. So, you should have no problem with a 1-inch clearance.

Rear is just shy of 1 3/4" to the top of the outside housing. Front is a hair shy of 1 5/8" to the same place. Both measurements are from the top of the rail when mounted.

Denise, Mounted mine up to a JD Machine Tech top rail and it tightened up snug and remains that way. The mfg seems to be very responsive, I would contact them to resolve quickly.

15" ... on some trailers/installations this can cause the lid to interfere with the top rail if the trailer. In this case you can try spacing the box from the trailer fame using a short length of 2"x4" lumber (pressure treated)

Mine is 3/4" from top of rail mounted. This is the base with the rear site down

My Chevy Colorado had rather large gaps to begin with and with the tailgate seal installed it feels just a little firmer closing than without the seal. I set my bottom seal flush with the bottom of the bed with the tailgate off. After reinstalling the tailgate the seal is also flush with the tailgate. I had more difficulty with aligning the sides the way the Colorado bed is made.

I installed between studs and ran the backer board up the edge. The edge flange thickness is 1/2"

I can't say for sure as I installed these on my 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. I can tell you that the inside dimension between the factory rails is 36 - 7/8" on the Mountaineer. Hope this helps.

I have a spray in liner from the factory and I did cut notches in my bed rail trim to get a more secure fit I of the cover. You can install without cutting the trim on top of the bed rails, but the trim will bow underneath the cover since it is longer than the metal seam underneath which is what this cover's cleats grab hold of. Install took less than 15 minutes and does not leak. I've had mine for 6 months. Great cover for the money!

You do need to notch out about an inch of bed rail cover in four corners. But factory bed liner does not affect cover. Great product! I love mine

I installed one recently on a 2004 F150 ext cab. The cover is very nice. The only objection I have is being that the bed of this truck narrows as it reaches the tailgate and the cover is rectangular you see more of the bed rail as you near the cab. I don't mind this but others may.

Not sure what part your talking about. The cover is attached to a rail which mounts on both side of bed. Make sure you have it mounted correctly. I do not have any issue with seal.

Yes. My door is 1 1/8" thick. I installed the aluminum track flush with the front of the door. Works perfect.Regards, bob

No. Side rails of cover go along top rails, so any top tie down would either be in the way or be rendered useless.
