Bed Rail Caps

crepitus · October 21, 2008

I received my bed rail caps last week and i read on here that the temp need to be 65 or higher for the 3m tape to stick. is this very critical? I want to install those so I can put on my cover but the temp is only going to about 55-60 and no warm up coming according to the weather channel. Also the rails from the cover will be holding down the caps so maybe i should just go for it.

I say park the truck in the sun, and leave the caps tape-side up in the sun, clean the hell out of the bed rails with some rubbing alcohol, and you should be fine. Worst comes to worst, you could heat up the rails and the tape a little bit with a hairdryer.

I put mine on when it was around 55. They are fine! Just make sure to clean the bed rail nice with alcohol or something of the likes...

I don't know about you but I got no sunshine as of yet (10:41 AM) and it is supposed to rain this weekend. So not much looking in your favor. Find a friend with a heated garage.
