you are correct, but what warranty is he going to void? Rust or whatnot
due to what he does, dosen't fall under the category of a manufacturing
defect, anyway. I would be willing to bet the manuf. dosen't cover
didly once it's installed in a truck anyway (but would be more than
willing to sell him parts..)
Hot Glue isn't all-weather, and superglue dosen't hold velcro very well
for very long... Besides, he is probably going to have to mess with his
cover frame anyway, so it's a moot point, it's just a question of what
it bolts to.
It might be just as cost-effective to sell his current cover to one of
us, and buy a new on sized to fit...

Good idea, though I'd stick to the velcro. Drilling holes into the box
might void the warranty. Superglue or hot glue and velcro shouldn't.

Ethan, Most any upholstery shop should be able to modify your soft cover to attach to your tool box. The worst you might have to do is run some screw-snaps into your toolbox [or glue some velcro to it]... Some shoe repair places might also have the heavy duty sewing machine that is required to do this type of work. Ask around, you might be surprised.

I bought a truck chest from Northern, it's supposed to be 36"W x 18"H, but it's more like 19", combined w/ my bed liner and mat makes it too tall to fit under the existing soft cover (it's sort of under it now, but it's bulged up, and I'm sure it'll ruin the cover if I leave it long enough)...
The reason I got the smaller chest was to avoid losing the soft cover... if I have to lose the soft cover, there's no point in not buying a full size cross-rail box...
I'm toying w/ the idea of cutting the mat, or just pulling it all together in the hopes that it'll buy me an extra 1/2" to 1"...
My pass floor & seat are full of tools & other assorted junk, so I need some type of secure storage pronto...
Suggestions? :) Should I exchange the box for a cross-rail and dump the softcover, or should I try something else?
