cap install caution

Be aware that if you have the high mounted center camera, it will complicate the installation of a cap. My new Leer cap is rubbing against the camera because, in the design of the cap they failed to take into account the roughly one inch protrusion which accommodates the camera. I have purchased the standard light which should fix the problem, but now I have to figure out how to get it installed. I would like to do it myself, but am not sure if there is an adhesive weather stripping that needs to be managed.

Trade light for your camera? I have one that will fit the cap? Or are you planning to swap them....

Thanks for posting. You have a lot more clearance that I do. The Leer has an indentation for the light assembly which works well, but did not anticipate the camera.
