Default Stupid bubbled out bed caps!!!!

Anyone else have this problem? I see it on alot of Sierra's and Silverados where the bed caps warp out in the middle... Anyone know where to order more bed caps? How to fix this or prevent it?!

You mean the step side caps? The newer OEM ones come with tape all the way down them to prevent the warping.

I had mine replaced by the dealer before my warranty ran out, but even with the replacement ones I can see that they may do the same thing at some point. I think there is an issue with the mold or some thing like that, because there is a difference in the plastic at the middle.
