They were still in business a week ago today when I did both of a pre-sales call and placed my order. Maybe a month ago now they picked up the phone to answer questions before I bought my Tacoma.
They fit the same! The shims just prevent the rails from getting crushed under the clamping pressure. I think they would probably buckle in the middle and raise the ends without them.

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I just installed my Switchback on my 4th gen Off-Road and the brackets don't match up to the levers near the tailgate. I was wondering if you had a photos of yours? I'm suspecting they sent me the wrong top, but it's super hard to find a photo of the switchback on the 4th gen Taco's. Two photos attached, when I called customer service and sent photos they just told me to use the rail and not the bracket. Seemed odd to me that the instructions explicitly said to use the brackets so they're there for a reason. Also neither side fully closes when you use just the rail.You can be guaranteed than any model of diamond back cover will be virtually watertight. I went with the switchback because I wanted a tri fold but didn’t need the ability to haul a lot on top. Did an extensive leak test and all was good. They are quality covers and pricey but won’t let you down and last a lifetime. And a diamond back in the black finish complements my Sport to the max. Good luck on your decision!
