Subject: DML: RE: Mopar Tonneau cover
Bruce,
Does the Mopar tonneau have a single lock in the back edge of the cover?
No, on the center of the top of the cover about 4 " from the edge
Does it have two bars that reach from the lock to the ends of the
aluminum
frame to lock it down? NO, A U hook is screwed to the tailgate, you cant
open the gate with the tonneau locked
Does it have a black edge around it? NO, my black edge is painted purple
like the rest of the tonneau
My fear is that you're going to say "yes" to all three of the above
questions,
which means the truck accessory shop I went to steered me wrong just to
get my business (instead of Mopar). Sounds like the shop is on the right
track! Itd be nice to be able to open the gate with the cover locked down.
And the lock has a funny plastic cover thats eventually gonna get lost... I
got my tonneau as part of the Non-deal on my truck but I really liked the
looks and the fact that it was warrantied along with my truck (10/100) and
that its Mopar for "originality"... Probably not the best piece out there
from all features though, but hey its a looks thing for me!

Im running the mopar tonneau.
No leakage when you wash or in the rain. Just be careful about
tightening
the stop bolts (use loctite once they are adjusted properly) and put
some
flat pieces of aluminum or hard wood (I used maple 1"widex3"longx1/4
thick)
load spreaders under the heads of the clamps to prevent dimpling of your
rails. So far the gelcaot looks fine (1 year and 13K miles) BUT my
warranty covers the tonneau paint as well as the truck's so I aint
skeerd.

Subject: DML: Mopar Tonneau Questions...
I was thinkin about puttin a Mopar tonneau cover on my truck. Main
question is What to do underneath, meaning a carpet kit or an under the
rail bedliner? Does water seep through when it's getting washed?
I remember reading something about the gelcoat on the Mopar covers is
known for cracking, happened to anyone? I chose Mopar because I thought
they were made to fit exactly with this truck's specs.
I would greatly appreciate any info.
Thanks

P.S. I looked through the DML Archives and there were like 8billion
tonneau posts, so I figured it would be easier (quicker) this way.
