Hi Guy,

I can't get the plastic tilt for mine in the UK and the tonneau didn't seem
much point so I
have gone for a Truck Safe.

Thats a good point about the deflectors for the windows, they let in a lot of
water if the
window is open a bit...

playing about with the ladder rack+. Mine has a load liner without a drain -
gets about
4inches of water in it - anybody got a drain hole - if so where? Have you tried
the thingies
that go down the front of the windows? - if it rains you take on some water with
the
window open without them. Guy
