Anyone make Plastic Bed Rail Caps?

[Dusty]

Does anyone make a set of plastic bed rail caps yet? I've searched and found none. Seems it would be a short kick for someone like @Mabett or @Xipex.

I love running with the top off but those un-covered bed rails are both a cosmetic and functional problem. Yeah they look bad, but I've also found that when I have the top off, I tend to load stuff into the back seats over the bedside, stuff like my backpack and other items that have the potential to scratch the paint if I'm not careful. The bed rail cap would function as a scuff guard.

I'm guessing plastic would work best and be most economical. Make it match the other plastic parts like the fender flares, door handles etc. I would make it heavy-duty enough to step or walk on, for those of us who like to climb all over our Broncos. Maybe even have a grip pattern on it rather than just a smooth top. Make it so that it simply snaps into the hard top bolt holes and is easy to pry off when its time to put the hard top back on.

Please do them for 2-door first

I wish I had these too since my top is off for months at a time.

They're very common for pickup trucks:

I need it. And many other caps for stuff that make the Bronco look goofy with roof and doors off.

Deezee showed off many of said caps but hasn’t brought any to market yet.

Hard to guess. I think it's going to be one of those things that most Bronco owners don't even realize they need it until they see it, then they say hell yes I need that. The potential market is everyone who takes the top off. No clue how many that is. But I think it's probably as good or better than for a lot of the plastic accessories I see companies like yours making. I would bet that some of the big-name bed rail cap companies will eventually do it...Westin, DeeZee, Bushwacker, etc., but whoever is first-to-market will own it.

I didn’t even think about this until I saw this post. I’ve looked at that area several times and thought it looks extremely unfinished with the way the plastic interior doesn’t lineup with the metal. And the possibilities for getting all scratched up over time are high. A cap could help resolve that to some extent. This is a great idea to improve the look. I’d buy one and never thought of this idea before this post. Someone please make this happen.

I can’t remember who makes it but someone sells ppf for this area. I was asking them if they could do a black vinyl for this area because I thought it would make it look more finished. But this idea is probably even better. Just have a nice plastic piece there that could be held on with the factory hardware. I’d definitely buy.
