What in the hell are you doing with the bed rails (short of shaving them) to keep them down?? The ones on my GMC flap going down the highway and it really gets on my freaking nerves.... I've considered running some stainless screws in them and being done with it...

Try some of that gray silicone lol... If it'll hold an intake tube together it should hold the cover's on

I put a stainless steel screw in mine & did the other side so it would match!

double sided tape should hold it down and you don't have to make holes

No bed covers... Don't want the weight on this truck... What kind of double sided tape? I've yet to see any that won't turn-loose over a short period of time with weather etc...
