Today, on this 2012 Ford F-150, we will be installing the Access roll-up Tonneau cover, part number 834532004782. Our first step will be to install the weather seal at the bulkhead, which is the front wall of the truck bed. We will take our alcohol prep pad, clean the surface, then peel back the 2-way adhesive and adhere the seal to the bulkhead. Then, we are going to go ahead and put our truck box in place, tighten it down so that we can install the front header bar of our Tonneau cover. We will push this up against the truck box with the weather seal facing the box and adhere the side rails with the clamps provided. Now, with our header bar in place, we can go ahead and start attaching the side rail.
To assist us in attaching the side rails, we will use a couple of clamps to hold it while we install the mounting clamps. When setting up your side rail, you want to make sure that the edge is flush with the front header bar and the side rail staying 1/4 inch between the side rail and the tailgate. There will be a total of 3 clamps on each side to secure the side rails. Now, with both side rails secured, we will go ahead and install the weather seal from the header bar to the side rails. This will run the length of the header bar and we will trim off the excess with a pair of scissors.
Next, we will go ahead and bring the front bar and cover to the truck. We will go ahead and attach the tensioners to the front bar using 1-1/4 inch bolt and flat washer, securing with the nut in the channel. Leave this finger tight, at this time. With our tensioners in place, we can now go ahead and attach them to the side rails, putting our front bar in position across the header bar. We will secure these with a bolt, flat washer and nut, again finger tight until we get everything in place.
Now, with the front bar fasteners and tensioners tightened down, we can go ahead and roll out the cover and put the rear bar into the strike plates on the side rail. Go ahead and close the cover and slowly close the tailgate to make sure we have a snug fit. If necessary, we will use the tensioner to adjust accordingly. That will complete our installation of the Access roll-up Tonneau cover, part number 834532004782 on our 2012 Ford F-150. .

Bestop EZ Fold Tonneau Cover Installation - 2010 Ford F-150
Today on this 2010 Ford F-150 we are going to install the EZ Fold Tonneau Cover from Bestop. We are going to be using part number B1611101. Installing this Tonneau cover is relatively easy. It is very light to install but it is always a good idea to have an extra set of hands. All you have to do is start with the Tonneau cover and just fold it up into position and set it on the rails closest to the cab of the truck. Take it and line it with the front edge of the bed itself. You will notice the clamps are built on to the Tonneau cover itself and it is adjustable left and right to accommodate different bed widths and basically what you do is slide it over and adjust the clamp up and down as needed so you can start off with the clamp as close to the rail as possible. 00:40
TruXedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau Cover Installation - 2001 Ford F-150
Today on this 2001 Ford F-150 super crew, we are going to install part number TX590601 from TruXedo. This is their QT tonneau cover. The first thing we want to do is go ahead and lay out our parts and we are going to work with our side rails first. If you notice, on the rails here they have these slots right here and the edges are kind of sharp. So, the kit comes with these simple little covers that you just snap over the edges. Then go ahead and go on to the rest of the slots and cover those up. We can go ahead and start installing the first rail. 032
Access LiteRider Tonneau Cover Installation - 2010 Ford F-150
Today on this 2010 Ford F-150, we are going to install part number 834532004737, the Access tonneau cover LiteRider. The first thing that we need to do is install the side rails that go into the bed of the truck. Alright, we are going to take our first rail. We are working with the driver side. We are just going to hold it up to the inside edge of the top rail of the truck and we will make sure that this edge is flush with this or maybe a little bit higher will work just fine. You will notice on the rail here that we have this plastic edge here. That is where the back part of the tonneau cover locks into place. You want to have this towards the back of the truck when you install the rails. Scoot it all the way towards the front and make sure that touches the front rail. Once we have it the way we want, we are just going to use a clamp just to hold it in place. We will start working on the clamps that will hold it permanently in place. Take your clamp, push it into place. I like to go as far as I can on the inside edge of the rail and try to go as far back as possible. 1:03
TruXedo Deuce Tonneau Cover Review
Today we are going to install part number TX777601 from TruXedo. This is their Deuce Tonneau Cover. First we will show you how it installs. Some tonneau covers actually sit on top of the rails. In this case, it is actually going to sit on the inside edge of the rail itself. We will start off by installing the rails first. It is kind of a good idea to have an extra set of hands here. What you want to do is mount it up against the side of the rail and push this little seal here against the tailgate just a little bit. When you have got it into the position you want, go ahead and take the clamps and install it onto one side of the rail and on the inside of the bed rail. What you are aiming for here is to actually have this as level as possible. All right, next what we will do is install the rails that actually support this while it is in use. We will just fold this out of our way, and the rail will get installed like this. Try to get it as even as possible with the other rail and then clamp it in place just like the first one.
