How Wide is the Flippac Rail Width

[Jr_Explorer]

My Flippac is scheduled to be complete 7 July! (I know, believe it when I see it) In preparation I want to get the tripple bulb seal that AT uses. I've sourced some but it seems awfully wide. So my question is how wide is the Flippac surface that interfaces with the bed rail. I have a full size Chevy so input from other full size Flippac owners is of most interest to me but for others on the site and future reference it would be interesting to know what width it is for the smaller trucks (TacoDoc or others may be able to provide this info).

Thanks in advanced for your help.

i think it is 7 inches on the sides; less in front. Too lazy to get off my ******** right now, walk the 25 feet to my garage, and measure the shell to verify. But, I have measured before and that's what i remember. i will measure again and post up... There's really no rush. Never know when FRP will actually deliver your FP.

Congrats. Hope you enjoy yours as much as i do mine

I must be asking the wrong question... I'm trying to figure out how wide the surface that sits on the pick-up bed rail is. I would think it's somewhere between 2-4 inches at the most.

And I can't WAIT!!! :wings: I see a thread of CA Expo folks talking about heading out for the 4th and I won't have a rig ready yet. I hope that's the last holiday I'll have to say that. And I'm waiting for the Mountain Rendezvous to be announced.

You are gonna make me get out of my recliner and measure, huh?

Yes please. MAYBE even a photo? (I know... Now you have to get out of the recliner, find the @&# camera, charge the batteries... I'm such a pain.

flip seal

If you put the the tripple bulb seal on the bed rail your truck the flip pac should be OK. I dont think you put the seal on the Flip-pac.
just FYI

Why do they do that (?) seems backwards, especially if you remove the camper when not in camp mode. I would swap between my Wildernest and Snugtop throughout the year. Wouldn't want the bulb seal on my bedrail.

I have a double bulb. It is stuck to the FP, not the truck.

I am in Los Angeles this week and next. Been too busy to measure or photograph my FP for you. Sorry. It really is much wider than the truck bed rail.

See... That is my thinking. Stick it to the shell rail.
