  1. Go with 265s. You get more options at a cheaper price. Size is negligible, new 255 is about same diameter at worn 265.
  2. First good luck. I have been sorely disappointed in my Retrax and would not but another one, especially considering the comparative cost. But to your concerns. The indention looks like it could be caused be the little spike that locks the cover to the rail. When closed, there really shouldn't be much play in the top. The bolt in the picture sticking out from the rail hold the cover in the fully closed position. From the pictures and your description, your rail(s) need to be solid toward the tailgate. That should help cost the gap at the tailgate. Now, that gap in the front. I bought a cover late 2017 when I bought my truck. It didn't have a gap there, ever. Ended up getting a warranty replacement for water intrusion through the rubber seals between the slats. Now I have a gap at the front. It appears they changed the length of the cover (warranty replaced cover only, not rails). No clue how to fix. I need to take my cover back off and I intend to put something to cover the hole in the back of the canister. When it rains and I'm driving the front wall of my bed gets completely soaked from wind driving rain through that gap and out the bank of the canister. For water around the edges of the bed. This ticks me off now than anything and should have been solved by rail design, but it's not and I'm not certain there's a good way to keep it working long term. When installing the rails, you actually have to twist the rails up, to secure them at an forward angle. This directs water that gets in the channel where the wheels run to for away from the bed. Don't worry, due to surface tension it'll still hug the cover and drip down some in your bed. You'll really need the white nylon studs mentioned earlier to get this right. They actually updated their instructions at find point; the original printed instructions that came with my cover didn't mention it. Good luck!
  3. You probably need to replace the driver's side window switch. It communicates with the BCM to control both the windows and the door open switch; I don't know if it does the locks.
  4. Mine does it, especially going up hill at low RPM. I've had no success getting it fixed. Luckily it doesn't happen much, so I just love with it.
  5. Were the overflow incidences at the same pump? If you're putting the nozzle in all the way, it's going to be the nozzle's fault if it overflows on/prior to the first click. I have a 17 with 35k and don't think I've ever had an overfill.
  6. No effect on daytime viewing.
  7. Tell the dealer you want this TSB performed: #17-NA-269 - Rear Camera Screen Bright At Night - (Sep 13, 2017) It will make a huge difference. I can see it off my right side mirror now.
  8. I got these put on today. Westin Sure Grip in polished aluminum. Pretty easy to put on. The first one took about 40 minutes to put on, the second closer to an hour. The second took longer because my helper woke up from his nap. They're currently installed pulled all the way out. I plan to install splash guards so the running boards will have to be slid back some and I may adjust them inward then; I'll just have to use them for a little while all the way out.
