Re: Advantage Hard Hat bed cover

I just installed my hard hat last night. On the road to take my daughter to college, the thing started buffeting like crazy. I had to leave it that way until we got to college but took it off for the ride back home. I discovered that some of the weatherproof strip behind the driver's side rail had come loose. I had not tightened it down enough. Don't use the little "wrench" included in the kit. Buy a torx 30 and a torx 40 adapter for your drill. It's well worth the small investment and will make installation very easy. My kit came with extra weatherproofing, so I replaced the problem area. Also, I don't believe I had mine clamped down tight enough. It needs to be really tight. And, I think you need to be sure to have the front end snug against the backside of the cab. I fixed those problems and went on a test drive tonight. I could only barely see the cloth moving in my rearview. Of course, I may have stretched the fabric a little on the trip to college. We'll see, but I'm much happier with it now.
