Default official Toyota Tonneau

Greetings all,
I am wanting to get the official Toyota Tonneau as advertized on the accessories pamphlet at the dealer...pretty nice...color key'd etc. I just called my parts dept to check on pricing and they inform me they no longer will order this due to there being fit issues. They say the ones they've ordered in the past haven't fit correctly so they aren't ordering any more. Anyone heard of this elsewhere? I've tried googling for it...and I come up with nothing.

I have a 08 Tundra DC Ltd. 5.7

Yes, they did have fit issues. I went through 2 Toyota brand hard tonneaus and both rubbed paint off of the front rail of the bed. Then I tried a completely different brand, Raider LoRider and it was garbage. The front was wide open (by design) on it so water would just flow in like crazy.

I ended up going with a soft cover, the Extang Trifecta. I couldn't be happier! In fact, I'm glad it didn't work out with the hard cover.

Here are some threads you may find helpful...
