Fold-a-Cover Tonneau Install

My reason for choosing Fold a Cover, 1. not a pull string latch, 2. Somewhat more available bed space than a tri-fold, 3. the Caddy

This was not as easy as I thought it would be but, it not that hard either, adjustments and trying to figure out the instructions was the worst. They had universal (both with/without rail system) which was a little confusing seeing how there were parts for both.
Step 1 was to install the side rails with the sticky tape. I do not recommend this as there is a lot of adjustments and if you stick the rails down, I feel like you would be just redoing it a few more times.


If you get the Caddy, I highly recommend 2 people

The mounts are simple if you don't confused by the instruction

 

The rail seals seems good except, my rail protector has ridges and the seal will not be water proof. I will have to do some handyman sealing.

 

Working on it

 

Now for the fun part
How will I get this Caddy installed since I am an army of ONE. This really is a 2 person job, trust me.




But wait... I have an idea.



What could go wrong????

 

Guess what I screwed up.....























Nothing, LOL

 

I still need to install all the seals but, I'm saving those for tomorrow,

 

Get some softer and thicker seals and you won’t have this issue...

 

I'll be doing something, for sure.

 

looks very nice.. unfortunately my bed cover is on hold cause i had a minor accident on thursday so the expenses went toward that... ..

I dont have the cargo rails with my tundra.. are those needed or can it be installed without?

 

Im pretty sure it will, there were parts left over and the instructions show them clamping on the under bed lip. I would def give them a call to double check though.

 

@markg how it holding up so far??? i happened to see one of these in person while in oklahoma. It was on a dodge 2500.. Looked really slick. what did you do for the side rails/seals. any storms to test leaks yet? I am between this one and Lomax.

 

So far so good, some rain, no issues. Car wash, no issues.
Its pretty solid.
I didnt do anything to the rail seals either, they seemed to form into place.
Next time it rains, I'll take some pics of the inside for you.
Only thing I wish were a little better is the key holes. They could be a little better.

 

Very heavy rains last night.
No leaks


I think this was from before the top was installed, as you can see it has been dry for awhile.




no water on the bed rail

 

hows it holding up so far? Still enjoying it? any pros/cons discovered?
