Frequently Asked Questions
- What if the camper shell opening is larger than my truck window?
If the shell opening is larger, the seal between truck cab and bed may not work. You’ll either need to modify the opening or consider a compression boot instead, which is more forgiving in such situations.
- Can I cut the seal between truck cab and bed to fit around a third brake light?
No, cutting is not recommended. Instead, remove the brake light and cover the hole, or change how the boot is mounted if you need to preserve the light.
- Is it suitable for sealing between an airbag mounted truck cab and the body hard mounted to chassis rails on a truck?
As long as there is some sort of flange or wall to install the boot it should work. The thickness of the flange should not exceed 3/16" (4.7625mm) The accordion design allows for independent movement or flex between the cab bodies.
