Post Ford installed tonneau cover

Who all has that option? Happy with it?
Are the bed rails drilled into the bed?
Thanks

J shaped clamps that fit in the rail and under the bed rail that have an allen head screw through th tops rail. It is a slick setup.

Cool

3 yrs, 77k on mine, looks like new. Easy setup, nothing permanent on the bed or rails, reasonable price, i love it.

How in the heck do you roll this thing up? I tried rolling it up, but the plastic rail on the tonneau cover won't bend enough for me to roll it up. Is there a special trick I need to know about?

Help here?

The straps stay inside and the clips stay on top.

Ally69,

There was a post about a fix for that problem while back. I did a search, but couldn't find it. Anybody have any info on this?

SBB,

I had a Ford Tonneau on my Y2K 8ft, I was completely happy with it. It rolls up small enough, has straps to hold it and removes as easy as anyone i've seen. I had it on almost fulltime for 18 months, two New England winters, and it still looked pretty good.
