Definitely agree. I actually ordered some plugs for the end of the tub, if they fit I'll let you know what I ordered.

Hi John , thanks for that .
I have the same pro's pick check strap kit , but i see you also have their hidden latch kit which comes with the bracket to secure the tailgate end of the strap .
I'm using a different latch , so it looks like i'll need to make some sort of bracket for the tailgate .

I've just installed my Craftec cover and not real happy with the fit .
The fit at the front of the bed is horrible with huge gaps in the corners .
John and Jim , how is the fit at the front corners on your covers ?
I actually think my front hinge rail may have been incorrectly assembled by Craftec with the angle piece being upside down ?.
