Awesome
Perfect fit
Thank you
The item was the exact replacement for the part that I needed. I installed it the day that I received it. The ordering process was uncomplicated, and the part came a day before promised. I have purchased items from etrailer before, never have had an ordering problem and the item has always been the exact item that I needed. Great company to deal with.
Fit perfectly on my trifecta cover that I’ve had for like 7-8 years now. Made it work like brand new again. Simple installation although it does require taking the rails on the back section of the cover apart in order to slip it into the cross rail.
Perfect fit just wish they would give you install instructions!
This piece worked perfectly for my husbands tonneau truck cover. Thank you!
Was easy to install and work just like factory made ones.
Works great. Received our replacement clamps quickly. Thanks!
Perfect replacement, easy to install.
The replacement spring latch, P/N1035, is the exact replacement part. Unfortunately, these latches are mounted into the rail assemble during the Solid Fold 2.0 assembly. Once in place you cannot replace it without considerable time and expense. This assumes your cover is out of warranty as my 11 years old cover.
The photos below show an original clamp and a newly installed replacement clamp. The original has the rubber pad in place and the replacement does not.
To facilitate the install I determined that a portion of the rail must be removed. The clamp rides inside the rail on guides which after removing the retaining block became fully visible. I marked the width of the circular retainers on the clamp onto the rail and using a high speed Dremel tool cut the aluminum rail to a width and length that allowed the replacement spring clamp to be inserted. Once the retaining block was reattached it locked the clamp onto position.
This process removed about 0.5 inches length and 0.125 inch width from both sides of the aluminum rail. The replacement photo shows about 0.0825 inch (1/16) of the cutout remains uncovered but this gap doesn't interfere in operation or function of the spring latch.
This fix cost $10. My local Extang installer thought his tech would take 2 to 3 hours to disassemble the cover and install the new part. Cost estimate $250.
If you look close it's not pretty, but it works just fine.
Fast shipping, quality part. Smooth tra nsaction
My order arrived on time and it was exactly what I ordered and what I needed. Thank you so much Art Kingsland.
It fits perfectly and works well.
The Replacement clamp are working just like the original ones that came with the Tonneau cover. They were ever easy to install.
Great product. Not super easy to install. Needed to dremel a slot into the rails in order to fit it in.
Exactly what I needed. Quick shipping
Works great just like the original ones easy to install
it works as it should but it wasn't easy to figure out how to install it.
perfect replacement fit and function
Excellent replacement
Looks like an exact fit, would have liked to have seen installation instructions, however, that's what YouTube is for. :)
shipping was fast, but pricey.
