Is This Normal?

IS THIS NORMAL TO SEE THE TONNEAU BARS LIKE IN THE PICTURE WHILE CLOSED?

I think so, mine are the same way

Nevermind. Mine looks the same. In over a year of ownership, I’ve never looked at it from that angle.

If you had them recently add the missing slat then yes it is now normal.

I did have them add the missing slat... was it there not before with the missing slat?

No, the bar went one slat farther up so you didn't see it. They commented on the bar after adding mine.

Mine’s like that. I’ve seen pics of other people’s having that bar another spot or 2 down so it’s more in the middle of the window. Yours is as good as it can be after adding the extra slat.

Good to hear

One thing you have to be careful about with the bar showing (which I also see on mine) is that it can jam the tonneau while opening if you put something long like a ladder in the bed of the truck that catches on the bar. That is how I discovered the bar being there on mine.

it was always like this, regardless of added slat or not. I think you misunderstood what the OP is asking about, these are the bars, and they were always there

Yeah... that's what I figured. When we take trips out of town for sports I usually pack the truck to the gills and stack things up back there closes to the windows because of the added room. Im starting to worry if this is going to be a issue now

The hinge locations where bars go are always there, but adding the slat shifts the cross bar position such that it is visible when the vault is closed.

When the missing slat is added, the cross bar ends up changing position and blocks art of the rear window. Totally normal, and if you read the service manual for how the missing slat is added, you’ll see why this occurs.

Mine looked like that before the extra slat and after.

If the support bar was in the same location after adding a slat... where did the added slat go??
