Factory hard tonneau cover (SUT)
I was just wondering how difficult it is to "pop" this thing off.

Re: Factory hard tonneau cover (SUT)
It doesn't "POP" off. Its a Friggan biatch to get off. My advise is to either do with or do without!

6 bolts. Remove the 3 hex head bolts at the base of the shock on the left side, then just loosen the 3 on the right. The whole lid disconnects. Takes all of 5 minutes. Just did it yesterday. Doing it this way leaves the rails in place and you don't lose the alignment. Then just set the lid back on and retighten.

clever, but you have to be aware of the rails as you use the bed. we had someone do this and was loading cinder blocks, kinked the rail (bent at about 90 degrees) and went without the cover for quite awhile till we could locate one rail for him. but this will work. |

No worries. I have taken it off and on a couple times over the last couple weeks since I have been moving. Right now waiting to get internet back up and running but that won't be until the 24th. Having to use the computers at the local library to do anything. OCEANIC TIME WARNER CABLE SUCKS.
