Nope just the seal between the cap and bed rails.

They are OEM from ARE. My thoughts exactly. I am putting together a pulley system to lift it off.

Thank you. I've been using the loader on my tractor with a set of "forks" made out of 4X4's to lift mine on/off. I'd like a better way. When you get your pulley system rigged, how about some photos?
I know that cap only weighs around 175#'s, but how are the mounts attached? I'm thinking of some sort of reinforcement inside the cap, to spread the weight a little. Maybe just a large fender washer?

I have used a bike inner tube, around the openings, between the truck and cap. Then pointed the vent out the hole to keep the pups warm during extreme weather......
