Whats up guys!! Just bought this bed cover for my gmt but its from a 99-06 chevy everything fits great but the locking part. The lock cylinder is like a 1/8" from hitting tailgate and I cant lock it. The locking tab hits tailgate when I barley turn the key. Any ideas on what I could do to lock it. Sorry I don't have any pics from inside bed. I have been looking for a low pro cover like this for awhile. I don't know the brand but I think its a gemtop gt classic.

Look's good!

Thanks draggin95. Would you have any input on how I could lock it. I was thinking of cutting a small slit in tailgate so that locking tab when turned would slide into tailgate and locking it that way.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yes that would work, or you could flip the lock 180 degrees and make a tab the bolts to the bed side and then the lock tab would face the cab when locked or to the right when unlocked, I am trying to envision exactly what your locks look like on that set up and I am not sure.

Its supposed to attach to whats called a footmans loop. But theres no room at all for that. Pic on top shows the cylinder and that flat side of cylinder is almost touching the tailgate.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yeah it sounds like you may have to put a very small notch in the gate for the lock tab.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Maybe make a nice stainless trim ring for the notch so it has a finished out look.

You can always count on DRAGGIN95 to have a great plan! Lol that cover looks good too man! What material is it made of?
