2018 Silverado front bed rail cover


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just bought a 2018 Silverado LT without the bed liner, and there are bed rail caps on the sides/tailgate but none on the front rail.  When I put a tonneau cover on it, there is a gap between the front rail and the cover.  I searched for rail covers but didn't find a lot for the front rail other than 1 diamond plate option.  Other than adding the bed liner that covers this area, how are folks closing the gap on the front rail?

 

Thanks for the help!

I added stick on foam tape when I installed my soft roll up cover on (supplied with my cover).. seals it up great

My Lund came with a foam strip but was removed when the box was Line-X sprayed over the front rail. Both worked well.

I've had my truxedo LoPro on for 3 years and the foam strip that came with my cover had worked fine until this winter. Now its peeling off. I will have to do something this year to fix the seal.

 

I may just replace the foam gasket, but I'm interested to see if there are any better ideas. I'm not opposed to a cap on that front edge of the box that sits at the same level as the OEM side rail covers.

Thanks for the feedback!  I'm glad that I wasn't missing anything out on the market other than weather stripping or foam.  I'm surprised that my cover didn't come with anything to bridge the gap.
