Setup and Installation
The UnderCover SE is designed for straightforward installation, typically requiring two individuals due to its size and weight (approximately 58 lbs). Basic hand tools are generally sufficient for the process.
- Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully unbox the tonneau cover and all included hardware. Inspect all components for any shipping damage.
- Positioning the Cover: With assistance, carefully lift and position the tonneau cover onto your truck bed rails. Ensure it is centered and aligned correctly with the tailgate and cab.
- Attaching Mounting Hardware: Secure the cover to the truck bed rails using the provided mounting hardware. Follow the specific instructions in the included hardware kit for proper torque specifications and alignment. Ensure all clamps are tightened securely to prevent movement.
- Adjusting for Fit: After initial installation, check the fit and alignment. Minor adjustments may be necessary to ensure the cover sits flush and the seals make proper contact with the bed rails.
For visual guidance, it is recommended to consult any official installation videos provided by RealTruck or UnderCover for your specific truck model and cover.

Operating Instructions
The UnderCover SE features a single low-profile twist-lock mechanism located at the center of the cover. This mechanism controls latches on both sides of the truck bed, providing secure closure.
- Locking the Cover: To lock the cover, ensure it is fully closed and flush with the truck bed rails. Insert the key into the central twist-lock and turn it to the locked position. This action engages the latches on both sides, securing the cover. Remove the key.
- Unlocking the Cover: To unlock, insert the key into the central twist-lock and turn it to the unlocked position. This disengages the latches.
- Opening the Cover: After unlocking, lift the cover from the rear. The cover is designed to be lightweight for easy opening and closing.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UnderCover SE Tonneau Cover.
- Cleaning: Wash the cover regularly with mild automotive soap and water. Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the textured surface. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect the full perimeter seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Damaged seals can compromise the cover's ability to protect against water and debris. Replace seals as needed.
- Hardware Check: Annually, or after significant off-road use, check all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose bolts or clamps to ensure the cover remains securely attached.
- Lock Mechanism: Keep the lock mechanism clean and lubricated with a graphite-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
