Gator truck bed covers provide protection for your truck bed and its contents. They’re designed to fit snugly against the truck bed, keeping out moisture, dust, and other debris. It’s important to adjust the cover correctly so that it fits properly and provides the best protection possible. Here are some tips on how to adjust the cover on a Gator truck bed:
Check the Fit
The first step in adjusting a Gator truck bed cover is to check the fit.
Start by opening the tailgate and inspecting the area around the edge of the truck bed. Look for any gaps that may exist between the edge of your truck bed and the cover frame. If there are any noticeable gaps, you’ll need to adjust your cover accordingly.
Adjustment Bolts
Once you’ve identified any gaps, you can use adjustment bolts to adjust your Gator truck bed cover. These bolts can be found along the sides of your cover frame and they can be used to tighten or loosen your cover as needed. Start by loosening all of them slightly before you begin making adjustments.
Sealant
After adjusting the bolts, apply a sealant around all of them. This will help prevent moisture from entering underneath your cover and causing rust or other damage over time. Additionally, if there are still small gaps between your truck bed and frame after adjusting, use a sealant to close these as well.
Inspect Once More
Once you’ve finished adjusting and sealing your Gator truck bed cover, inspect it one more time to make sure that everything looks good. Make sure all of your adjustment bolts are tight enough so that no moisture can enter underneath but not too tight so that they don’t begin to break down over time.
Conclusion:Adjusting a Gator truck bed cover is easy with these simple steps. Check for any gaps between your truck bed and frame before adjusting with bolts accordingly, then seal any remaining gaps with sealant before inspecting once more to ensure everything looks good. With proper adjustment, you can keep moisture and other debris out of your truck bed for years to come.
