Look good and I like them

They look pretty good on my 99 Silverado. Not exactly difficult to install, but not exactly easy either. I did end up with them lined up exactly like I wanted, but not too bad. I added a few extra pieces of double sided Gorilla tape. They aren't going anywhere. The clips . I know why they are there, but I'm not sure if they help that much. They look good though, and I like them.

Pros
  • These caps also prevent debris and dust from accumulating inside your truck bed
Cons
  • May not be compatible with bed rail protectors

. a high quality product and is cut to the perfect size as long as you select the correct model .

Seems to be a high quality product and is cut to the perfect size as long as you select the correct model when you purchase the item. It was challenging to install being as once the tape makes contact with the truck bed, it’s basically there to stay. My point is it’s hard to adjust and get the perfect fit. I would suggest warming the material and possibly stretching them wider using your hands, before attempting to install. That was just my experience though 🤷🏽‍♂️ Ended up with a pretty dam…

Pros
  • They are easy to install with no drilling required
Cons
  • May become brittle over time, reducing durability

Love it. Might be a little bent on the end because of shipping

Great product. Feels like it will last for a long time, sturdy material. Easy to install by myself following the included instructions. Only problem is with the shipping, the end sides by the tailgate were a little bent. The box was a little squashed on that side, it was probably sitting vertically on that side. I tried to bend it with my hand back and started with that side making sure it was glued well and secure before continuing with the rest. After a little while in the sun after it was…

Pros
  • These caps are suitable for any type of truck owner, whether you use your truck for work or play
Cons
  • May not be as thick as other bed rail cap options

Very easy to install

Had a previous set of these on my truck now that my trucks older needed to replace but originals lasted a long time very good product

Pros
  • ULTIMATE PROTECTION | Save your truck bed's top edge from dents, dings, and scratches as well as cover minor damage. Engineered for factory-tight fit with close tolerances and smoothly finished edges
Cons
  • May not be as flexible as other materials

Non Aligning Stake Openings

The product description and "revain garage" both indicated these would fit my 01 GMC Sierra 1500HD standard bed but as other buyers found the stake openings did not align. revain accepted the return and I'll do as another buyer did and buy the solid version and cut in my own holes. Aside from that issue these appear to be a quality product and I look forward to putting them on my truck.

Pros
  • The Bushwacker 48503 Ultimate BedRail Caps provide excellent protection for your truck bed
Cons
  • May not be as aesthetically appealing as other options

most stake pockets don't line up

as many other reviews state the pockets don't line up well, other than that the install was easy and they freshen up the top rails of an 18yr old truck. I think they look good and would buy again if they get badly damaged.

Pros
  • ‎Bushwacker 48503
Cons
  • May not hold up well against repeated impact damage

Bedrail cargo holes do not allign correctly

Cargo cut outs were not properly cut for correct alignment. Fit on bed rails perfectly, snug fit, simple to install. Only complaint is not i have to trim the cover to fit retractable cargo hooks and you can see the bedrail more where it was t cut correctly

Pros
  • These bed rail caps are custom-molded to fit your truck bed perfectly
Cons
  • May not be the best value for the cost

Great aftermarket replacement for OEM

I had to replace the OEM plastic tailgate cap on my 2001 Silverado. This looks great, and was easy to install. Please note this does not use the OEM bolt holes, it is 3M tape but fit will and was easy to line up.

Pros
  • The smooth black finish gives your truck a professional and polished appearance
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand harsh chemicals or materials
