Locking Lid | RAM Trucks | 2002-2018

Close to 5 stars but there are a few issues. #1 if you are installing in Ram with a full bench back seat they don't tell you that you will need to make a spacer to put under the inner most rear bolt. This is needed because it is designed to go over top of the seat frame of the 60/40 seat, thus there is about a 3/4" gap. Without a space the bolt would bow the frame as you snugged it and then it would twist. I cut a piece of black pipe and it worked fine, but added 40 minutes (time to evaluate problem, think of fix, cut the pipe with a hack saw). #2 They never explain that the lid will NEVER be able to be opened completely as it hits the seat frame. Don't get me wrong you do get it 90% open but it won’t stay open on its own. Also this contact to the seat frame immediately scratches the paint on the lid. Quick fix is an adhesive felt pad to avoid contact. #3 The front bolts don't just go into the slotted holes, you have to muscle them. In my case we needed to open the slotted hole in the floor ever so slightly for them to catch, another additional 20 minutes. To Tuffy, Just add a spacer for bench seat purchasers, change the front bolts to one with a tapered nose so they will self-start/tap into the holes and add some type of bumper pad so the new lid isn't scratched 5 minutes after install. So even prepared with a second seat bolt (again we have a bench so we had to get a second bolt) the process took in excess of 2 hours to install. So in conclusion will definitely serve the purpose to stow the pistols when needed, well built, just not end user friendly instructions & install.
