Defects of Tacooma that everyone should look at

[TacoFreak]

Mine is also lifting at the cab end and has that two sided tape under the bed rail, but it is way too warped for it to hold it down. I thought it was just a punt at the factory or port to try to cover up a bad part. My dealer ordered a new one as soon as they saw it, but it is back ordered to hell and back, so hard to say when they will get it.

My bed rail cap finally came in and I installed it myself. I don't think that double sided tape was ever intended to retain the cap, just to align it in the front. There are many plugs fastening it to the bed but only a few in the front, and mine was too warped to stay in place. The new one fits fine and if your caps do not fit your dealer should order you replacements.

Is the new replacement just like the original one or is there actually an improvement? Do you have a photo of the cap removed or the bottom of the cap?
