Protect your cab and back glass from shifting loads with the Weather Guard 1906-3-02 Protect-A-Rail steel cab protector in Brite White. This is the classic steel screen guard: a full diamond-mesh panel in a welded steel frame that stops cargo, ladders and gear from sliding into the rear window during hard stops. The bright white ARMOR TUF powder coat stands up to sun, rain and road salt for years of service, and a center window cutout keeps a sight line out the back. Note that the Protect-A-Rail mounts using a vehicle-specific mounting kit that is sold separately, so order the kit that matches your truck along with the guard.
What's Included:
1906-3-02 Protect-A-Rail steel screen cab protector, Brite White
Diamond-mesh steel panel in a welded steel frame with protective end caps
Note: the vehicle-specific Protect-A-Rail mounting kit is required and is sold separately, not included
Features
Steel Diamond-Mesh Cab Screen A full diamond-mesh steel panel in a welded frame shields the rear cab window from shifting cargo, ladders and loose gear. Steel gives it the strength to take a hit that a lighter guard would not, which is the whole point of a cab protector.
Brite White ARMOR TUF Finish The frame and mesh wear a Brite White ARMOR TUF powder coat that resists rust, chips and fading through sun, rain and road salt. The white finish is a clean, high-visibility look that pairs with white and light-colored trucks and fleet vehicles.
Center Window Cutout A rectangular cutout in the middle of the mesh keeps a sight line out the back window so you can still see behind you while the rest of the panel guards the cab.
Built For Full-Size Pickups The Protect-A-Rail is sized to protect the cab on full-size pickups and to provide heavy-duty cab protection for work trucks that haul loose or shifting loads.
Vehicle-Specific Mounting Kit, Sold Separately The Protect-A-Rail mounts with a Weather Guard mounting kit that is custom fit to your truck and is sold separately from the guard. Buy the correct kit for your make and model so the protector bolts up cleanly. The kit is not included with this item.
Limited Lifetime Warranty Weather Guard backs the 1906-3-02 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, so a hard-working steel cab protector is covered for the long haul.

Installation

Installation uses a Weather Guard Protect-A-Rail mounting kit that is custom fit to your truck and purchased separately. Order the kit for your exact make and model, then follow the kit instructions to anchor the guard so the mesh sits square behind the cab. The steel panel is heavy, so use a second person to hold it while you bolt it down. Because mounting hardware is not included with the guard, confirm you have the right kit before you start.

Best Upgrade for Your Truck
This is Weather Guard's own brand film about outfitting a working pickup, built on the idea that the truck should already be loaded and organized before the day starts. It puts the bed and rail equipment in the context of a real work day rather than a spec sheet.
Watch it if you are still deciding how much storage a truck actually needs. It is the clearest short look at how Weather Guard boxes, racks and drawer units are meant to work together on one vehicle, and it comes straight from the manufacturer rather than a reseller.
Weather Guard Defender Series Truck Rack Install
Weather Guard's Defender Series install video shows the lightweight aluminum truck rack going onto a pickup with no drilling required. You see the compression clamps grip the bed rails and the crossbars set up to carry ladders, lumber and pipe, rated to about 800 pounds. It makes clear how quickly the rack mounts and how the ladder stops keep a load in place. It is a helpful look at the rack in place before you buy or install your own.
Weather Guard Steel Truck Rack Install
This official Weather Guard guide shows how to install a steel truck rack for hauling ladders, lumber and long loads over the bed. You watch the rack mount to the bed and get tightened down, with the load bars set for ladders and pipe. It gives a clear picture of how the rack goes on and how much it adds to a truck's hauling capability. It is the manufacturer's own reference for setting up the rack correctly.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
