This week I decided to take the chance installing a Maverick Softopper bed capsince I’ve seen several posts about cross-installing a tonneau, along with the Flated cap.

the only changed I made was for the four clamps, which I just used a modified L clamp from Home Depot for the bottom half, kept the top clamp as is, and bought extended bolts and nuts to clamp them together. The clamps go into the tonneau track, so it may not be an option to do this if you have one, but I think it’s possible to get a quick release level on the end of the bolt similar to a bicycle skewer. The clamp is rudimentary but works very well.

the nice thing I noticed too, is the third light is actually not covered, and the three bed buttons aren’t either, which I included a picture of.

Thank you for sharing your post. I hope you get a lot of use and enjoyment out of your soft topper. I’ll wait for the specific R1T built softopper.

Softopper needs to build one base on a platform that sits on the bed walls. It can be done in time.
