Looks like the back door on the bed cap overhangs the tail gate. I am guessing you need to open that door each time you need to access the tailgate?

Yes, but prevents no water intrusion. It’s a gasket that presses against tailgate.

I ran into a problem with the back hatch not closing because of the bump on top of the tailgate. Did you have that issue? Might be I need shims changed. Could you tell me how many shims you used in front, middle and back? Thanks! Your truck looks great!

I think I used, from front to back, 5,4,4. Also, did you remove the inner rubber gasket that goes over the horn on the tailgate?I ran into a problem with the back hatch not closing because of the bump on top of the tailgate.

Thanks for your reply. Are you able to close the hatch when the tailgate is already closed? That bump prevents me from doing that. I had it installed by a local company. Not sure if they removed the inner rubber gasket that goes over the horn on the tailgate. I will find out. Thanks again!

Yes, I can close my hatch. It’s snug, but you want the inner gasket to press against the lip of the tailgate rail.
Maybe your canopy sits too far toward? That would cause the hatch to not close well.
I installed mine myself. I don’t always trust other people’s work to get it right.
I spoke to the guys at ok 4wd and they said they just remove the inner gasket which is what you mentioned so that's what I will do. The place where I had it installed had never done one of these so they weren't sure and did not remove it. Thanks again for the info and good luck with your truck.
