Hey I’m Dave and on this installment of Summit Racing Quick Flicks we are going to
show you how to install a tonneau cover on a 05 Chevy Silverado.
Ok for this installation we are going to be using a TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover which
is a soft roll up style tonneau cover and what’s nice about those is you get quick
easy access to the entire truck bed it features a Velcro style closure and also has a no drill
installation which is going to make things really easy for us today. Ok so we have all
of our pieces parts laid out on the back of the truck we have our two rails, the tonneau
cover itself with the front rail already attached and also the bulkhead seal already on there,
our six clamps which we use to attach the cover to the side of the pick-up truck bed,
our corner seals for our rails to keep the weather out and this is all going to go on
simply with a half inch wrench. Ok so we went ahead and put the corner seals on the bed
rail so now we are going to move the tonneau cover into place, once we have this into place
we will be able to put the rails on the side of the truck bed and use the clamps to secure
it. Ok so with our cover laid into place it’s time to go ahead and get our side rails and
kind of installed to where they are going to be on the truck bed itself and what we
have to do is take this corner piece here and slide it into the head rail and it’s
just a matter of lining it up and sliding it in and you’re done. Ok so we have both
rails set into place on the actual truck bed and we have centered everything up right where
we want it and now it’s time to go ahead and attach the rails and you do that with
the six clamps provided by TruXedo three on each side obviously and they need to be evenly
spaced just go ahead and install right up under the rail, finger tighten it into place
and we will go back and tighten everything with our half inch wrench to tighten it down
we will be good to go. So have gotten our rails attached our tonneau unrolled and the
last little bit we had to do was attach this little piece of weather seal here which we
have already done so now it’s time to close her up close up our truck and go out
and have some fun.
