New Checkmate lid on almost-done truck

[nosto]

I ordered this flush hard cover from Checkmate last Monday, picked it up at my local freight office yesterday, installed it in about an hour today. Very easy, so far. Only issue is the seal at the rounded bed front has a 1/8" gap and will leak unless I add more gasket material.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to 'electrify' the key lock on the lid so I can use one of my spare buttons on the remote to 'pop' it.

Things-to-do list: dubs, run exhaust out back, exterior paint......gas and go! Planning a 500 mile break-in (hopefully not break-down) trip to go to the Columbus Goodguys show next month.
