Box Cover Drip Catcher Problems

W

GUEST
Has anyone had a problem with the rubber troughs under the hard bed covers on both sides of the bed splitting?? I just took my AV to the dealer to have them both replaced because they split in the middle lengthwise. Mine split at what looks like a seam where the trough starts to curl upward. I think they started splitting when they got bent downward when putting something in the bed or got leaned against. Anyway it is worth looking at b4 warranty ends.

Hey warren,

That is a very common issue and is caused by owners actually using the cargo bed and bending those POS gutters. Very Very bad design.

Ditto,

Mine split and I actually saw it happen. One of the mechanics who was changing out the panels, due to them leaking, bumped up against them during the instal. I could not believe my eyes when I saw them split apart. I had them order new ones right then and there!!
