Mountain Hatch

What do you all think a keep or a return?

If anyone else has installed this, do you have a gap? (Image 2)

I took mine off, it's for sale here. I didn't notice if it had a gap like yours but I did notice not much thought went into the production of these. The 3rd gen panels had a lip in the front and tucked under the trim on top of the tailgate. It was a much cleaner look:

I also remember they had more coverage along the sides and bottom. Not to mention they flat out lied to me twice via text about it being shipped when it wasn't. I'd never purchase one of their products again.

What's the purpose?

First, you should leave on the old OME tailgate cover and mount the Mountain Hatch directly on top of it. No gaps and it looks much better! I recently installed mine but the plan is to use it as a flat table to cook on while at the beach and camping.

You are definitely right I wasn’t feeling the installation through the instructions. I will definitely do it this way.

did you buy bigger screws or did you just use the ones mountain hatch sent??

I used the screws they sent but they were much larger screws. There was also a hand written note on my order that actually said “install on top of the OME tailback cover”

If you have smaller screws, ask Mountain Hatch for the larger ones.

They sent larger ones, thanks though. I saw the message as well but on website it looked like it was just the oem tailgate lip they kept on bottom.

this message makes sense now.
