To help keep your Retractable Tonneau Cover looking it’s best, we
recommend washing it the same as caring for your truck finish.
However you should not wax your cover. Using a citrus-based vinyl
cleaner and protectant such as 303 brand protectant will keep your
cover looking like new.
To assure quiet, smooth operation, periodically apply a generous
amount of the same 303 brand protectant to a rag and wipe out the
inside of the rails the underside of the sweep seal and the top of the
wear strip. Repeat as needed until these components are cleaned of
debris and well lubricated.
Ensure proper placement of the sweep seal as shown in step 10. Re-apply
protectant/lubricant if the cover begins squeaking or sticking during use.
(FIG. 10A)
Alcohol, petroleum based or silicon-based cleaners such as
Armor-All® should be avoided and ARE NOT recommended for our
covers.
It is important to open and close the cover regularly; the spring that operates
the cover is self-lubricated and regular use assures that it stays in proper
working condition.
Periodically remove the Top Cover and clean out the inside of the canister.
Drain tubes may become clogged overtime and should be removed and cleaned. To remove the drain tubes reach
under the canister, grab the drain tube fitting and turn it while applying light downward pressure. When the retaining tabs
align with notches in the bottom of the canister the Drain Tube and Fitting will drop out.
