Top 5 Maintenance Tips For Tonneau Covers

1. Examine Your Cover - Regularly examine your tonneau cover for any nicks, bumps, dings, debris, looseness, corrosion or anything else that seems out of the ordinary.  Doing so can prevent further damage from occuring or prevent damage from occuring at all.
   
   
2. Inspect Tonneau Cover Hardware - Make sure all clamps, blots, rails and other mounting hardware are tight and securely in place.  Loose mounting hardware can result in many damaging effects to your tonneau.
3. Rail Alignment - routinely check the alignment of your truck bed rails.  Improper alignment can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your tonneau cover.
   
   
4. Use water and mild soap on a hard tonneau cover to keep your tonneau cover clean. The soap is easy on the truck and won’t harm your cover. If you have a vinyl cover (tri-fold or roll-up), use vinyl cleaner to keep it looking new and working properly. Use soft cotton cloths or sponges to dry the cover. 
   
   
5. Never leave heavy objects on your tonneau cover for any length of time.  Heavy objects can rip or stretch your tonneau cover and cause it to not fit correctly.  Stretched vinyl is virtually impossible to repair.
