Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

  • 1 Set Tonneau Cover (pre-assembled with 3 heavy-duty aluminum powder-coated frames)
  • Installation parts (clamps, fixed sockets, etc.)
  • Installation Manual

Setup and Installation

The KUIPERAUTO Quad-Soft Tonneau Cover is designed for easy installation without drilling or additional modifications. Follow these steps for a secure fit.

Step 1: Position the Tonneau Cover

Carefully place the folded tonneau cover onto the front of your truck bed, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the bulkhead. The front panel should rest flush against the bulkhead.

Step 2: Secure the Front Clamps

Unfold the first section of the cover. Locate the integrated clamps at the front of the cover. Hook these clamps under the truck bed rails and tighten them securely. Ensure the clamps are firmly attached to prevent movement.

Step 3: Extend and Secure Middle Sections

Unfold the subsequent sections of the tonneau cover towards the tailgate. As each section is unfolded, ensure it lays flat and is properly aligned. The cover features 4 horizontal crossbars to prevent air lifting.

Step 4: Secure the Rear Clamps

Once the cover is fully extended, locate the locking clamps at the rear section. Engage these clamps under the truck bed rails and secure them tightly. These US Patent Clamps provide added safety and stability.

Step 5: Check Fixed Sockets and Drainage

Verify that the upgraded fixed sockets are properly engaged. The integrated colloid design of the waterproof drainage system ensures water is directed away from the truck bed without external hoses.

Folding the Cover

  • Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the aluminum frames and hinges for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all bolts and clamps remain tight.
  • Waterproofing: The cover features a waterproof design to protect your cargo. While designed to be highly water-resistant, occasional checks of the seals and drainage system are recommended, especially after heavy rain or car washes.
