Cover Care and Maintenance

1. Vinyl cover can be hand washed with mild soap and water or cleaned in a car wash. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue. Cover can be treated with any vinyl protectant made for tonneau covers. Never use silicon, petroleum, or citrus based products on your tonneau cover fabric. 

2. It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation. 

3. It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closures. Clean away any excess dirt or grime and lubricate with silicone spray. Ensure the latches move freely in and out to properly engage the side rail and provide performance with optimal security. Be careful not to overspray the cover. Wipe away any excess silicone around the latch location.



4. Ensure holes and notches on the driver and passenger rails are lined up across from each other.



6. Repeat steps 2-4 on passenger side for item C. When finished proceed to step 7.




11. Preferred Method Of Closure: Close and latch cover then close tailgate with the seal to the inside of the tailgate.

Alternative method of closing cover: Close tailgate, then close cover on top of tailgate. This method will not work with some truck applications. Use preferred method instead.


12. Secure Hook and Loop down both sides along entire length of cover system.


ATTENTION!

For best results after the initial installation leave cover closed and latched for a 24 hour period. This will insure that the fabric has taken a complete set to the metal substrate.

13. To Open Cover, Pull Down On Release Cable




15. To Release Strap Push Tab Up.


NOTICE: Ice buildup within hinge section can occur if cover is stowed in open position. To prevent potential damage, close cover during winter precipitation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Header will not latch:
1. Check side rails to make sure they are level. See Step 5, clamp installation.
2. Make sure the rear header seal is not caught between side rail & rear header.
3. Check to make sure side rails are both equally spaced front to rear (See steps 3 & 4).
4. Make sure both latches are functioning properly. Clean any debris that may be impeding latches, see COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE on page 1.

Cover is hard to roll open or closed:
1. Tonneau cover MUST be free of foreign material including snow and ice before rolling cover.
2. Prolong cold weather will make cover fabric stiff. Move cover into sun or indoors to warm the top surface.
3. If cover has been stored in the rolled up state for a long period of time it may take few minutes for the cover to lay flat. The fabric material needs to relax to a flat state, this is normal.
