Snuglid lateral adjustment?

Post by Zombaja »

Snuglid owners?

I got a killer deal on a color matching (no really, 'tis true!) snuglid to replace my factory turbo cover with unobtanium locks. No paperwork other than the online "manual" was available, as well as quite a bit of missing bolts and nut, and I installed it myself with no small amount of swearing and sweating.

the part to the cab is even with the roll bars (but the rubber seal on the cab side keeps rolling up when I tighten it down, not sure how to resolve that yet) and the cover itself is off center enough so that wind pulls the weather seal away on one side. Maybe half an inch off. The latches still line up though.

I need to figure out how to adjust the bedcover over a bit. the pocket the hinge mechanism is in might be shimmable but there's no way to make the other side rail move over so this would narrow the gap and possibly bend the hinges. Someone mentioned that loosening where the pocket attaches and rotating may solve it.

Anyone got input, advice and/or experience?
