  1. Did you figure this out? I have a similar issue on my 14 high country. Also, if you changed your shocks, what difference did it make to your ride and what shocks did you use?
  2. Thank you for this. Just installed the unit I got for Christmas on my 2014 High Country. Your methods was a LOT easier than messing with the sill plate. I went into the cab from the grommet under the driver side foot area as shown in the youtube video. I had no idea what a BCM looked like or know where to find it. So for those like me, it is a small black box with 6 rectangular wire harnesses plugged into it right above the brake pedal area under the instrument cluster. The pink connector is plugged into the second position from the drivers side door. Since it is next to impossible to crane your head in there to look at it, what I did was take a photo of it with the phone held by the brake pedal, which gave me a good look at the unit. Then it was easy to unplug the pink harness and connect the wires as described. I did not splice into the wires. I just tinned the ends of the blue and green harness wires with solder. This made them into stiff pins which I squeeze inserted directly into the pink connector into the same holes as the existing wires. To ensure that it does not come out, I used a wire tie to tightly hold the new wire to the existing harness and create a small wire arc to maintain pressure into the harness holes. It works like a charm, and no splicing was required. Overall the job took me about 4 hours, but I took my time and did it really slowly and carefully. Another tool I found handy was a fish tape to fish the wire over the gas tank on the underside. Sadly, looking under the truck I realize I have a good amount of frame rust. This despite taking it in for the rust treatment TSB last year. Either they did a terrible job, or this thing is just designed to rust.
  3. Got both the TonnoPro and BedRug. The Bedrug is awesome, very happy with the fit and finish. Installation instructions could be better. The Tonnopro: - Arrived with a concealed dent in the aluminium; likely shipping damage. The aluminium is covered by vinyl. The vinyl is not torn, but I'm afraid it will fray eventually at the dent. - Also, the last section by the tailgate does not close tight, as the clamps are too far away from the tailgate and you can pry it up pretty easily. - The extras they ship in the package (tailgate seal, cleaner, gloves), seem to be cheap - of the bargain bin variety. I emailed Tonnopro about both the damage and the tailgate closing issue. In their first response, they completely ignored the issue with shipping damage, and just responded with a canned message to modify the cover by moving the clamps further back. I suppose they know about the design defect with the tailgate - hence the canned message. When I asked again via email about the shipping damage, I let them know I am willing to keep the cover, if they will send me a note in writing that failure down the road in the vinyl will be fully covered by warranty. Instead of addressing the issue, they simply asked me to contact the selling dealer for an RMA. Altogether, I'm not happy with the cover, or their customer service. I've contacted the dealer - TonneauCovers4Less. We shall see. I hate to say look elsewhere for a better product, because having read this thread, this issue with poor quality and customer service seems to be reported with several manufacturers. **** UPDATE **** TonneauCovers4Less responded the next business day, contacted the manufacturer and got me a note that I can attach to my warranty records documenting the transit damage. They kept me up to date on their contact with the manufacturer and got it resolved. I'm keeping the cover and in a good place, all said. I will update once I adjust the cover to see if I can fix the tailgate issue.
  4. Having read through this full thread, and never having owned a tonneau cover before, I have to conclude that this whole tonneau business is run like a cottage industry - products of questionable quality, resellers who are mostly mom and pop shops. Lucky to get something that does not leak etc. Quite disappointing really. I just ordered the TonnoPro Hard cover and the Bedrug... keeping my fingers crossed I get my order and its not defective.
  5. Typo perhaps? overstored.com does not exist. I usually check resellerratings.com. By the way, autoanything.com gets great reviews here, but they have a different story at resellerratings http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Auto_Anything
