Hey @Espinoza700 - thanks very much for doing this!
Had some printed up and they have been working for a few weeks now.
Installed on a Standard V2 (Tacoma long bed).
They are mounted with your original idea of the smaller ones at the back door.
I did test the larger ones back there and they also work.
Haven’t done any really rough roads yet but long highway drives in pouring rain and things stayed put.
Cheers!

Hello @Espinoza700 and @PRob
I can confirm that the side cover/backing will fit on the rear of a standard V2 built for a Tacoma long bed.
Cheers

Here’s another cover option that I think should work. It actually replaces the latch gasket. The Alu-Cab latch is not exactly the same as what GFC uses (not Southco), but I think it is close enough that it should work. Alu-Cab Push Button Lock Cover (Each) ALUA-PB-COV

Brilliant, I wonder if the dimensions are correct. Might just have to order one to find out.

I think it might be worth a try. 
I posted this on a different topic just adding this to the conversation this has worked brilliantly for me took care of a number of issues upgrading the existing mechanism.

Definitely one of the most knuckle smacking aspects of the design!

I just picked up my camper last week…the thing I find the most annoying is why is the damn key so hard to get into the actual key hole?
I did spray with dry lube lock too. Typically use this on ski racks in winter and solves a lot of issues.

I’ve found after a few months use it becomes easier as the tumbler gets worn. I have a habit of only locking one latch (which is the same I did on my topper) so I’ve noticed that the ones I use frequently are easier for sure.
Interesting and good to know…I was just getting annoyed that the key is so hard to even push in…maybe it’ll break in with use.

I just bought these covers from https://sewverlander.com and hope they resolve the frozen latch issue.
Has anyone had any luck with them? I will be installing mine today and hope for the best.

Does anyone know if the covers from sewverlander fit a V1 GFC?
Hey @MT_Taco18 they are specific to the V2. I have a design for the V1. I’m just waiting on magnets and then I can print some prototypes to test. I hope to have a set ready by mid to late Dec.
@blackhearse thanks for getting the right people involved!
@Rattler Right on, glad to hear it’s a work in progress. Look forward to an update once complete - if you need a V1 tester let me know

I just started printing @Espinoza700 design today. THANKS! Will report back once I get it installed, just waiting on magnets and EPDM foam for it.
Originally printed it in PLA fillament material; no issues other than my print settings. First one had a brim which I didn’t like, second one came out great without the brim. Going to reprint this in PETG going forward
If anyone wants the original first articles for the rear door I printed out, PM me. Free plus shipping.
