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 or equivalent
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 8. Re-apply
protectant/lubricant if the cover begins squeaking or sticking during use.
(FIG. 8A)
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.

1. To open the cover, turn the actuator knob clockwise 90
o
until it clicks in the open position. This retracts the
latches into the handle and the cover is free to roll open into the canister. A tug on the pull strap will release the
latch and allow the cover to lock into the rails.
2. To latch the cover in one of the mid-range positions, pull it back just beyond the position desired and allow the
cover to retract until it latches into place. Latching positions are located every 30cm along the rails. The clicking
sound is the spring-loaded latches mounted inside the handle. The latches are designed to bypass the latching
positions as the cover is being closed and to stop the cover as it is being retracted.
3. To close the cover, pull on the
strap to draw it back toward the
tailgate. When it is within easy
reach, grasp the handle by the
hand grip and pull the cover to
the latching position against
the tailgate.
