Anything that can be done? I am assuming that toyota will say its my fault for using the "wrong" stuff to clean and "protect" them

I at least want to stop it from spreading and happening anywhere else.

When I installed my Truxedo LowPro I found that the rails weren't clearanced quite right in the area where your bedrails are cracking. When I tightened down the tonneau rails it put more pressure in that area, which is when I noticed the tonneau rails stay straight all the way back, but the bedrails actually come in a bit. I just bent the areas on the tonneau rails to make for a better fit.
