Yes just make sure you have a clean dry surface when you apply the adhesive. If it's not clean and dry it will come right up.

My truck was the same and the cover seal fits just fine. The only problem I had was I had to cut some of the rail off on the inside of the bed cause the four posts that hold it together didnt fit snug. You might have to do the same thing. It wasnt hard and didnt take long, but just something I didnt expect.

The drop for my Tacoma is close to 3/4 in. The strip is made out help. thick durable plastic about 1/8". Should last a lifetime. The draw back is that the weatherstrip for the doors won't seal out the road noise compared to stock. You will hear more road noise. Tried sanding the edges Of the strips to make the weather strips seal better, but didn't help

i have found that tape made for silk screen production is amazing in it's sticking ability in wet and heat. that is the environment it was made to perform in! if you must patch with tape order the special tape on line from a screen supply house. it's expensive but worth it. it will not stick to the fabric portion of the cover however.

I also have a bed liner on my truck, the spray-in type. I ran a secondary wire from one of the screws to the frame of the truck, it works well. That or peel off the bed liner in the area of the antenna mount. I like this mount and would recommend it.

none that I have noticed. very securely sealed to bed. if you improperly installed the cover it could rub against the rear of the cab. easy solution would be to not do that.there is also no noise when fully opened. rubber pads seat it very nicely against the cab.

I have a 2013 F150 Platinum with a 66" bed. Simple to install, will never buy a snap cover again. worth the extra $

First, make sure you have the correct product number for your application. 42-501 is for a DBL Cab short bed truck. if the application is correct use the weather strip that is included on the top of the bed where the gap exists. position cover over weather strip and attach to truck bed. fold out cover and install hardware at tailgate end of bed. if cover does not reach tailgate it is either wrong product for your application or defective.

It just uses a double sticky tape. I've had it on for 2 and a half years, holding fine. Just follow the instructions to a T. Be sure That it is warm enough. Take your time.

it doesn't have a stretch to it. you don't want it to... use a good spray upholstery glue and you can use clear screw in upholstery pins...WalMart had the pins. it's a really nice headline fabric.. scrap well your original, then spray with glue and lightly press fabric on.. let it dry at least overnight...I used extra for visors and bottom inside on doors..Good Luck... can see how to ideas on YouTube..

Gary, the only anwser I have is by experience. I used this tape to hold up the bezel around my porch light. All was fine until winter, it fell down. That said, this is some sticky stuff. Good luck. (Staple Gun ?)

I've not had an issue with this yet but it is made from a material that is similar to the fabric used on RV roll out awnings. I would stop at an RV store and purchase a bottle of awning cleaner and try that. Alternatively, mix 1/8 cup of bleach and a good squirt of liquid dish soap with 5 gallons of water. Apply liberally to the cover and let sit for a few minutes but do not let the cover dry. Hose off well (you can lightly scrub using a brush if needed). Hope this helps...

The cover rests on about two inches or so on the lip around the bed of the pickup. There are also four clamps which attach under the lip, two on each side. If the rails are in this area then the cover will not work for you. Also the bedliner (assuming it is an insert) may prevent you from attaching the clamps unless there are holes already in the liner or made by you which would allow the clamps to attach. The biggest problem may be the rails. The width of my frame is just a hair over 58 1/2" inches and completely covers the stake holes on the lip of the bed. The leather look fabric just hangs over this to cover the frame. Hope this helps.

Oh it does fine as long as you can find a way to fasten is down more securely than the clamps that come with the cover. I find at highway speeds, the cover will move. I have tightened all four clamps down as tight as they will go and the cover still moves when on the highway, even for a short distance. I work at Toyota and have spoke to others at work that have the same cover and they all say the same thing as well.

I used the velcro tape. I didnt want to have any holes in my floor. My truck is older so I didnt want to chance it.

Very good question. I took duct tape in the color close to the bumper guard & wrapped it around the guard where I felt it should be secured & it came out as a nice design & secured the Bumper guard

These worked for me going from full HB and FB with Q mattress set. There may be a little slop on the hooks? I wedged a couple vinyl strips between the hooks and frame to resolve. This was a hard to find solution so hope it works for you.
