Yeah one of mine looks at least that bad so I’m definitely interested in this fixHere are the "before" shots. I'll send the afters tomorrow. I am not sure where to get part numbers. Perhaps the body shop will send me a copy of the paperwork. All I did was sigh a paper when I dropped it off, and another when I picked it up.

Here are the "after" shots. I don't see any part numbers anywhere. Any particular shot you want to see?

Under the plastic maybe? I did take the truck back the day after I got it because the top corner was sticking out again. The technical came out with a screwdriver and wrench. He took about five minutes to get the corner back in. He said " This is a lot easier since they got rid of the tape and use clamps and screws now."Curious where the steel clamps and screws are located? Mine look identical to your pics on my 2020 Ram, which also has warped lids.
This thread has died without a resolution, so I'm bumping it. Do you have contact information for this tech or dealer he works for? You don't have any helpful information for us here and I'd really like to see if mine can be improved. My dealership is clueless about what to do to fix it.
Did this fix the fitment of your lids? I'm not really following what you're saying there. Did you replace anything?
Dealership replaced the top section which is the hard plastic and frame of lid. They re-used the original painted section and clipped it onto the new upper part. It is (was) better, but it is warping as well. This is a before replacement and after replacement picture. Like I mentioned. The replacement is starting to warp now, but has not reached the level of first picture
Sounds right. Plastic just isn’t going to work well when beside a sheetmetal panel. Too dissimilar in materials and how they react to heat/elements.
I was told if you remove box assembly there are shims that need to be removed under boxes. Some need one front or one rear shim removed to correct lid to body alignment.
I need at least one of mine fixed. I’ll definitely bring it up the next time I’m at the dealer.
That won’t fix the problem of the warped tops. Has nothing whatsoever to do with the top part of the lids curling up on the ends and separating from the rest of the lid
Agreed!! Although mine are not bad and certainly functional as is, it would be nice if they aligned better with the vehicle. This being said, it is still one of my all-time favorite features of this truck. Had them on my Ram 2011 and learned how valuable they are then. Now we have power and lights and auto locks, so really quite improved from the original design. But you have said it best here, time to take these things to the next level and get some kind of "metal" in these RamBox covers!!
I'm not going to hold my breath on this one. Maybe if is was a more popular option they'd be more interested in fixing it. But I can see it being more cost effective for them to stop offering the option and ignore the complaints. Hell, at this point I'd gladly pay for an aftermarket part to fix this. I'm happy with the rambox option, I would be even happier with it if the lids aligned correctly.
