RSI Smart Cap

Yeah, its pretty much a design flaw in my opinion. I've spoken to RSI about the problem multiples times and they pretty much don't care.

I ended up putting some Gorilla duct tape the D rubber which at least prevents the D rubber from being torn apart more than it already is.

 

Do you have any pics of how you taped it? I started with gun lube…clearly wasn’t the solution, though it did help for the day. Thought about taping, but wasn’t sure how to do it without the tape rapidly coming off and getting sticky on the tailgate.

 

That's what I thought at first, I tried the both ends of the adjustment on the lock feet but both did the same. I think I just have some defective locks, I'll be driving down the road and when I go over road drainage diagonally I hear them pop open, it got to the point where I had to remove the lifters so the door would just swing open while driving. I decided to jiggle them from the inside to simulate what body movement would do while driving and I was able to recreate the issue.

I reached out to RSI support. They had me take picture and a video and they said they're sending me new locks. We'll see if that fixes the issue.

As for the tailgate, yep I have the same issue. I finally got tired of having to put a piece a cardboard between the tailgate and the D rubber every time I had to close the tailgate and trimmed the D rubber down. I don't camp inside the bed so loosing a little bit of seal wasn't a big deal for me. (not that it matters, the I can clearly see the bed contents between the tailgate and the body gap)
