Bedrail caps
 

TMI Products inc. is selling fiberglass bedrail caps, check them out @ www.tmiproducts.com. I ordered a set $368 delivered to So.Cal.

They also have a windshield cap that leaned up the look when topless

Re: Bedrail caps
 

60_project just wondering if your certain about windshield caps and if you have a link ?

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Yep here's the link to their windshield frame cap

Re: Bedrail caps
 

They have lots of nice stuff. Kind of pricey, though.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Do the bed rail caps set level with the door height when installed - that would be ideal, but hard to tell from the pic.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

If the bed rail caps are level with the top of the doors, they would have to taper down in the rear, or else a tailgate top cap would be needed as well.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

The bed rails just curve down at the end. They make a slightly weird transition to the back end of the truck, but if your set on going topless it probably will look less awkward than the abrupt drop at the door lol...

Re: Bedrail caps
 

To the original poster - post up some pix when they arrive - curious to know how they look and how they are attached.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

They will be shipped in 10 days

Re: Bedrail caps
 

There here, just started trimming them. Cut 3/4 off the inside to clear the stock interior. Need to trim the outside to likeing next. more pics to come.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

That looks like a lot of trimming required to make them work. You will have to re-radius the rear end to make it look decent. It also appears that the bedrail height is above the door height. Not such a smooth look in my opinion. I am assuming that you will be trimming the rails down to be the same height as the doors? Lot of work for a piece that should be a bolt on.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I agree, thats lots of work considering how much they cost. Any other companies selling a bed rail cover? I just took the top off for the first time yesterday and it looks kinda ugly there.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

The inner panel was installed 3/16 to low. I grown it flat then cut it out. Know I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to salvage this part. way to much work. Thinking of giving them a call

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I commend you for doing that much extra work to get it to that point. I would have already sent it back.

Was interested in buying a set if they were closer to bolt on and go...

Thanks for posting pictures and progress!

Re: Bedrail caps
 

After studying the pictures of the Blazer in the ad and your truck, I noticed something that is attributing to the poor vertical fitment. The arrows on the body lines in the attached picture are lined up in the "model" Blazer, but way off on yours. It looks like you may have some sag/misalignment in your doors. If those points line up, looks like you wouldn't be trimming so much off the bottom.

This however does nothing to account for the wrong length of the pieces.

Checked my doors, and they are like the model Blazer. Your doors are definitely misaligned.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I wish someone could machine a set out of Delrin / HDPE... a set that fit of course...

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Anyone have any experience with the header cap.. I am wondering how strong it is? How does it attach?
I would like to have something to attach a bimini top to and was thinking of making something out of steel.. but if this is strong enough I could wrap and attach the material around the bottom and then attach to the header. I do not want to drill holes for the traditional snap attachments.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Saw the ad in latest Classic Trucks.......I'm interested in the side rail part too

Re: Bedrail caps

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I made a fixture to hold the rail wile I re glassed the bottom. I put blocks of wood were the mounts will be. I'm mounting the rails by 3 bolts from the top. After I trimmed the rail and reworked the end, it starting to look good. Now the other side...

Re: Bedrail caps
 

More pictures

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Im surprised this thread isn't getting that much attention, I thought this would be a hot topic,,,

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I just got a set too. Test fit shows I need to do some trimming but not as much as you. One thing that disappoints me is the threaded inserts to install the rails from the bottom aren't in the same location as the holes for the original top. Seems like a no brainer to use the same holes. Guess I'm going to install some new inserts in the rails in the right spots.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

In this pic it's not sitting flush because of some trimming needed at the very front if the rails

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I swear my doors set up higher than the 2 pictured in this thread.....
I should be in great shape hopefully.....

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Are yours to long in the back ? I drove mine today and the doors stuck . I'm cutting another 1/8 of of the front, this will brake into the end and I'll re glass it. Watch the revile at the bottom 1/3 of the door. Good luck

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Went to Brothers truck show today and saw the TMI truck. I have a different look at there bed caps. I'm glad I did'nt call them.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Got mine in today and yes just a lil tweeking of the product and they should be fine, now to make up something to tie the top of the tailgate area together.
I welded my tailgate closed and shaved it.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Finished re designing my bed caps, ready for paint prep

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Blazer690, that looks good, I sent mine back for another pair, seems what they sent me wasn't suppose to be sent out to anyone.lol

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I really like what you did to the back ends with the smooth taper down to the tailgate. Much more pleasing to the eye in my opinion than the original design. But kudos to the manufacturer for bringing this cap to the market in the first place.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Subscribed to keep track of these things

Re: Bedrail caps
 

interested in see more details as well.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Painted to match and added stock option "Top Delete" door caps

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Anyone else bought this product and installed it or modified it in any way?

Re: Bedrail caps
 

I have the bedrail caps and windshield cap. The windshield cap it pretty thin and it is going to take a little bit of work to get a proper fit.

Re: Bedrail caps
 

Anyone else bought and installed these caps, my blazer has been on hold for some time, trying to get back to it and get it ready to paint...
