ARE LSII fitment?

I noticed mine isn't centered properly from right to left and I was unable to change this. More importantly I noticed that the rails that sit on top of the bed are half on half off on each side. Is this normal?

Do you have the UtiliTrack rails? I just had an ARE put on mine and noticed the same thing (sits halfway on the bed rail) but with the UtiliTrack it is necessary for the mounting hardware which clamps onto it. As for the side to side adjustment, it seems you could loosen the clamps and bump it over to center.
I had a SnugLid on my Lightning and thought it was great but now I kind of like the ARE better. The latching mechanism is better and the lid is easier to lift. Also, I like the way they formed the top to match the contour of the hood. Nice lines that flow through the truck.

I do have the utilitrack. I just thought it was kinda weird that the entire molding doesn't sit on the bed rail. It appears if I mess with the side to side movement however, that the molding won't fit at all on 1 side. I have about a 1 inch gap near the cab on one side and a 1/4 inch on the other side. The gap isn't from the ARE to the cab, but rather the ARE from the side of the bed.
