Yea I would like to see how you did that as well. How are you sealing the sides around where you cut for water leakage

black silicone on the top side where I made the cuts. very good seal.

I also bought the BAK Revovler X2 for my All Terrain X, looking to install it soon. Took BAK a month an a half to get me the right cover. Customer service is a PITA!

here are a few pics from my install... you can see from the under side pics, I had to trim the aluminum rail that marries to the inner bed rail of the truck. after that trim it was flush. some black silicone to fill the gaps sealed it right up.

There has to be a better alternative to the black silicone? Foam stripes mounted to the roll bar plate where the rail meet? The small foam that comes with the kit?

unless the cuts are perfect, which is unlikely... there wont be a perfect way to seal it with something solid. silicone works its way into all the crevices, and looks pretty good when done clean. most important thing is keeping the water out, IMO.

Used a Lund tonneau. The side plates of the rear mount are 1/8" thick.......just installed the side rails over them and used a piece of double sided foam to take up the slack in the balance of the rail against the bed cap. Cover support rails still fit in the channels, but if they did not I'd just shave 1/4" off each.

Please take some pictures so I can understand how you accomplished the install without cutting.

I may try this it seems like the simplest solution. I found one at Costco for a good price.....http://www.costco.ca/Tonno-Pro-Lo-Roll-Premium-Vinyl-Roll-up-Tonneau-Cover.product.100086384.html

There is currently a tonneau cover that works with the sport bars. its shown on the Canadian Chevrolet's accessory website.

 

Really? I didn`t see it...could you please post a link to it?

Unless it's aftermarket, GM doesn't make one yet.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
