Stake Pocket hole cover/protector

Since I didn't order the bed rail protectors, the stake pocket holes are not covered. Does anyone have the length & Width in inches of the stake pocket holes for the 2009 Sierra/Silverado. I have found 2 part numbers for the covers, TD8794, which is supposed to be for the 2000- 2002 model years and part number T701704212 for the model years 99 - 09 by Truxedo. Any idea where I could buy these online in Canada? All searchs by google have given US sites only.

Re: Stake Pocket hole cover/protector

Using different search engines excluding google, I was able to find a set of theses covers at a reasonable cost. It seems that the US suppliers have a set rate to ship within the states and an additional rate on top of the US rate to ship to Canada. The covers cost between $5 - $10 per set of 4. The postal rates and shipping rates and the exchange on the Canadian dollar kept coming out around $40 Cdn. I did find a site that was more reasonable and it is being shipped for less than $20 Cdn. Should have them somtime within the next 7 days.

The RETRAX does not cover the stake holes?
If not, that means water can still enter the box, I presume.
Could you let me know where you got yours?
I ordered a 2010 Sierra Regula Cab - not here yet.
Thanks.

Re: Stake Pocket hole cover/protector

Retrax tonneaus have 2 different types of side rails. The wide one is 3-4" wide and completely covers the entire pickup rail out to the edge. The cutout one is for useage of the stake holes for different accessories such as roof racks, ladder racks, headache racks etc. I got the cutout one for a roof rack. The stake holes do not drain into the pickup box, but rather drain inside the fenders.
I have an order in with http://www.etrailer.com/ for the stake pocket covers from Truxedo part # 1704242, set of 4. They were the cheapest in the USfor shipping into Canada.
But I am having trouble with them for delivery of my order. There has been a delay of over a month with apologies from them but no delivery. I am on the verge of cancelling and getting something different.
