Installing a Truck Topper With Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs In Place

Question

Question:

Can you install a topper/cap over top of the brophy tied downs after installed? I want to alternate between a truck camper and a truck topper, but am concerned about the topper not fitting snugly over the permanent installation of the Brophys. Thanks

The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs, # HSAB are 3/8" thick. So for a snug fit to your topper they will need to be removed or you will need to adjust for this dimension within the seal of where your topper comes into contact with the bed rails.
