Setup and Installation
The OEDRO FRP Hard Tri-fold Tonneau Cover is designed for effortless installation without the need for drilling. Follow these steps for a secure setup:
1. Verify Bed Size
Before installation, accurately measure your truck bed from the bulkhead (front of the bed) to the tailgate (with it closed) to confirm it is a 5.5 feet bed. This cover is specifically designed for this bed length.

2. Prepare the Truck Bed
Ensure the truck bed rails are clean and free of debris. If your vehicle has cargo racks or a cargo box, they must be removed before installing the tonneau cover.

3. Install Weather Strips
Apply the provided weather strips along the edges of the truck bed rails to ensure a tight seal and prevent water intrusion.

4. Position and Secure the Cover
Carefully place the folded tonneau cover onto the truck bed, aligning the front section with the bulkhead. Unfold the first section and secure it using the embedded clamps. Ensure all clamps are tightened before driving.

Operating Instructions
The tri-fold design allows for flexible access to your truck bed.
Folding the Cover
To access your truck bed, release the rear clamps and fold the cover sections towards the cab. Secure the folded sections using the integrated nylon straps to prevent movement while driving. Avoid driving with the cover partially opened without securing it.

Unfolding and Securing the Cover
To close the cover, release the nylon straps and carefully unfold each section towards the tailgate. Ensure each section lays flat and the clamps engage securely. The reinforced locking mechanism keeps the cover closed during travel.

- Cleaning: Wash the cover regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the FRP panels.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your tonneau cover, refer to the following common solutions:
- Water Leakage: Check the weather strips along the bed rails and ensure they are properly seated. Verify that all clamps are securely tightened. Some minor leaking may occur in extreme conditions like a carwash.
- Cover Not Closing Properly: Ensure no obstructions are preventing the panels from laying flat. Check that the bed rails are not warped or damaged.
- Loose Clamps: Re-tighten any loose clamps. If clamps repeatedly loosen, inspect for wear or damage.
- Difficulty Folding: Ensure the release mechanisms are fully disengaged. Check for any debris or foreign objects hindering the folding action.
