Tonneau cover confusion

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

As above my manual refers to the Tonneau cover being the one attached to the tailgate to hide items in the compartment towards the front.

 

When i search on here or elsewhere it refers to the cover which separates the two compartments.

 

my other question is i'm having trouble re-fitting The Tailgate Tonneau as the screw type fixing goes round and round as if there broken or they need to be attached to the Tailgate. hope im making sense :wacko:

 

Thanks

There is the tailgate tonneau and the vertical one which goes under the strut bar.

 

On the tailgate one the screws should only turn 90 degrees or so and lock in. Sounds like you need some new clips and screws

I thought my clips were broken too.

 

What I found was the inner pin part of the clip needs to be pulled back (not out) and the collar pushed firmly (REALLY FIRMLY) into the tailgate trim. Then the inner pin can be rotated and hold the tonneau fixing secure.
