TMI bedside rail caps

Has anyone bought or seen the Blazer bed rail caps offered by TMI? According to their website they are made of fiberglass and have the same shape as the top of the door, taking away that step down when the top is removed. I am curious as to whether they have bolt holes for double and single wall tops and also build quality.

Re: TMI bedside rail caps

I've wondered if someone made these for a while. Price point isn't too bad, maybe call the manufacturer on the bolt hole locations

Re: TMI bedside rail caps

I'd never seen these or the cap/cover for the top of the windshield either. couldn't make the picture enlarge so I could see it.

Re: TMI bedside rail caps

I was wondering if the windshield cap could be used for the soft top so no holes are drilled in the header.

Re: TMI bedside rail caps

I emailed TMI through their contact address and got no response. I then called and was put on hold until I hung up after waiting for at least 5 minutes. Maybe they don't have any or just don't want to sell any. If anyone has a contact at TMI it would be nice to find out whats up with these. I would buy them if they are any good.

Re: TMI bedside rail caps

I talked to a sales rep at TMI and he said that the bedside caps are not available yet. They may be available in late February. I am going to buy a set when they come in and try them out. $300 is a lot of money but I figure that buying verses making them myself may be a better deal. We shall see(hopefully).
