• The Putco Tailgate Cap part # P53614P installs using self tapping screws which are included for you. They install on the inside of the tailgate so they won't be as visible. I am sure you could also use some 3M double sided adhesive for a less permanent install if you like. This can be acquired at most local auto parts stores.

• Would the Westin Platinum Series Oval Truck Bed Side Rails Fit with a Truck Bed Toolbox
• If your toolbox is covering up the front stake pocket hole on the bed rails of your 2009 Chevy Silverado with a 5-1/2 foot bed the part # 50-2030-C is not going to be compatible. If the toolbox sits between the bedrails instead these would fit just fine.
