It seems the camper slid forward and is rubbing the cab light. The noise is driving me crazy. The camper was installed in August. Anyone have any easy fixes. I don’t want to take off it
Loosen clamps, nudge it back, tighten clamps? I would start there if you haven’t already. The bed clamps are easy to loosen.
I got it move back, hopefully it stays.
Hi Joe!
This is Robbie from GFC Customer Support. It seems like the lb/ft torque on your camper’s bed mounts might have come out of spec - that’s usually what we find when a camper or topper has shifted around on the bed rails.
The official spec on the bolt connecting upper and lower bed mounts is 40 lb/ft. We recommend checking that spec every 2,500 miles, or after any time you shred the gnar off-road (washboard surfaces, gravel roads, backcountry access roads, and especially jumps).
I’d love to follow up on this internally. Please do send an email to support@gfcengineering.com, and include a link to this thread.
Best,
Robbie

I noticed my mounts were very loose after a month or two. Tightened and checked a month later, again, slightly looser. I’ve now added thread locker and tightened. Haven’t checked in a couple months but good reminder. I’d be extremely surprised if they came loose again, but you never know. Good habit to get into checking them.
