FAQ

Can I install my LEER cap myself?

LEER only authorizes and warrants installations done by Authorized LEER Dealers. Proper installation, wiring, and adjustments are best done by trained, experienced personnel. Professional installation by a LEER Dealer is a wise investment in the performance, appearance, and safety of your LEER product.

What are the inside and outside dimensions of the truck cap I am planning to buy?

In general, our 'cab-high' caps follow the height of the truck cab and continue rearward at that height, parallel to the truck bed rails. Our Model 180/180CC adds about 4". Model 122 heights vary. Please view individual product pages or contact your dealer for additional information. Our dimensions are only one factor in the overall height of your truck, however. Also be aware of the suspension system, the weight of the load in truck, the size of tires, etc. PLEASE TAKE CARE to consider the overall height of your vehicle BEFORE you enter any garage, parking facility, drive-through, underpass or other area with limited clearance.

How to measure your truck bed

In order to ensure a proper fit, please measure your truck bed prior to purchasing your new LEER tonneau cover.
1. Place the end of your measuring tape at the bulkhead of your truck bed.
2. Moving down your bed rail, measure to the inside edge of the top of your tailgate.
3. Most truck manufacturers round their bed sizes, so choose the option in the fitment bar that is closest to your measurement. 

 

What is the weight capacity of my LEER factory installed Thule Roof Rack System?

When factory-installed on a LEER Model 100XQ, 100XL, 100XR, 100R, 100RCC, 180, 180CC, or 122, the Thule AeroBlade has a maximum load capacity of 220 lbs. and Tracker II Roof Rack systems have a maximum load capacity of 165 lbs. There are other critical factors when safely carrying and securing loads to your roof rack and dash - always refer to the owner's manual provided with your Thule roof rack prior to use.

Do you have inventories of truck caps or tonneaus on hand?

Virtually all of our production is "custom-ordered" to perfectly match each customer's truck. Because of the huge number of potential sizes, styles, models, and colors of products we offer, we maintain virtually no inventory of unsold products at our factories. Active LEER Dealers often do have some inventory on hand, generally concentrating on the most popular truck models, bed sizes, and colors. If you are looking for an in-stock product, call the LEER Dealers near you.

I lost the keys to my truck cap or tonneau and the locksmith says he can't replace them. Help!

Check with your local LEER Dealer, as they can sometimes provide a replacement set of keys on-the-spot. If they don't have the keys you need, they will contact LEER on your behalf. If your lock is one currently in production, we will send a set of keys to your Dealer. If your lock is no longer in production, the lock itself will have to be replaced by your local LEER Dealer.

My Dealer won't accept the LEER Online Coupon. Why?

The LEER Online Coupon offers a discount off of regular retail price at participating LEER Dealers. All LEER Dealers are independent businesses and can choose whether or not to participate in LEER offered programs.

I want to sell my truck cap and need to know what other makes/models/years of trucks it will fit.

Although dimensions appear to be similar for many truck models, most LEER molds will only fit the make/model/style of truck they were originally designed for. In many cases, a particular truck style is in production for several years with virtually no change, and a cap will fit any model year during the run of a particular body style. Beyond that, dimensions, angles, clearances, heights, and styling details are varied enough that it is unlikely that any cap can "cross over" from one truck to another. If you want to pursue it, we recommend a trial fit on the truck.

I see differences between the LEER products sold in different parts of the country. Why is this?

LEER utilizes three factories (located in Milton, PA; Elkhart, IN; and Woodland, CA) to produce its fiberglass truck caps and tonneaus. Each factory uses its own sets of molds and buys local parts and assemblies when possible. Each is also able to make subtle variations that suit the region of the country where their products are sold. Of course, the major features, styling, warranty and quality of LEER products all meet the same high standards no matter where they are produced.

I lost the LEER logo on my truck cap or tonneau. How can I replace it?

Check with your LEER Dealer, as they often have logos on hand and can get them to you quickly. If your dealer does not have the logo you need in stock, you can also email us with your request and we can assist you. Make sure you include your street address in your email. Wherever possible, we replace logos as a courtesy to our customers.
