    I have a four-year old Jason Zone cap on my F150.  It is, basically, 
falling apart over the past few months.  The rivets which attach the 
rear-window-strut bracket sheared.  Those were easy enough to drill out, 
and re-rivet.  All the weather-sealing is shot, to the point were every 
drop of water that hits the cap winds up inside the bed.

    I think that's pathetic, for a ~$1500 4-year-old cap.  Are my 
expectations too high?  It is, theoretically anyway, covered by a limited 
lifetime warranty on the structure, but it's not clear how limited, 
exactly, that is.  The woman I just spoke to at the dealer where I 
purchased it confessed that her Jason cap leaks like a sieve as well, 
which is not what I called to hear.

    Thanks.
