Silverado aerocap build thread

No flapping, it is tight and sealed, no way for air to get under it.

I may work at filling the gap some, but not sure if I will get to it anytime soon. I don't often have the time to work on it or do testing.

I can relate to that completely! Taking online grad school classes while working full time and trying to install prototypes on the truck gets pushed to the back burner...
Got my MPGuino today, so now I gotta run some wires!

I put some more pics and info up.

I would like to know how you covered it, and is it removeable from the truck. It looks like a hard shell, but you list the materials as shrink plastic.

I might like to do this on my truck, if I can see more of the covering being applied.
Thanks so much.

I designed mine to be one man removeable, and also tilts from up from the driver side.

Not sure if you are asking me or Bajascoob - mine is a wood frame, covered with plywood and then a layer of plastic. His is plastic sheeting over an emt frame.

Looks great, you spent a lot less than I did on my home-made tonneau.

Hope the project is going well....strategic placement of a few airtabs might help.
