How Do You Put a Roll-Up Truck Bed Cover On?

Roll-up truck bed covers are a great way to protect your cargo and keep the elements out of your truck bed. They provide an extra layer of security against theft, and they also help to keep your bed organized and well-maintained. Installing a roll-up truck bed cover can be a fairly straightforward process, but it does require some basic knowledge of how to put it on properly.

The first step in installing a roll-up truck bed cover is to measure the length and width of your truck bed. This will help you determine which size cover you need and ensure that it fits properly. You also want to make sure that you have all the necessary tools for installation, such as screws, rivets, or other hardware.

Once you have the necessary materials, it’s time to start the installation process. The first step is to remove any existing hardware from the sides of the truck bed using a screwdriver or wrench.

Next, attach the bracket pieces included in the package onto each side of the bed using screws or rivets. Once these are securely attached, line up the rails that came with your roll-up cover and attach them using screws or rivets as well.

Now it’s time to attach the fabric portion of the cover onto the rails. Start by unrolling it across the width of your truck bed and then attach each end using clips or zip ties. Be sure to secure them tightly so that they won’t come undone when the cover is rolled up later on.

Finally, attach one end of an adjustable strap onto one side of your truck bed and then pass it through a loop on one end of the fabric before attaching it to the other side. This will allow you to easily adjust how tightly you want your roll-up cover secured when rolled up.

Conclusion:

Putting on a roll-up truck bed cover can be done with basic tools and some patience. It requires measuring for size accuracy, removing existing hardware from both sides of your truck bed, attaching bracket pieces, lining up rails with screws or rivets and attaching fabric portion using clips or zip ties before finally securing everything with an adjustable strap for easy adjustments later on.
