It is crucial to confirm your truck's bed length before installation. The cover is designed to fit specific bed dimensions.

5. Setup and Installation

The Tyger Auto T2 Tonneau Cover features an easy, no-drilling installation process. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Prepare the Truck Bed: Clean the truck bed rails thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion of weather seals and secure clamping.
2. Install Front Header Seal: Apply the provided weather seal to the front bulkhead of the truck bed, ensuring a tight fit.
3. Position Side Rails: Place the left and right side rails onto the truck bed rails. Ensure they are aligned correctly and extend over the bed space, allowing full access to stake pockets.
4. Secure Side Rails with Clamps: Use the stainless steel clamps to secure the side rails to the truck bed. Tighten the clamps evenly along the length of the rails. Note: Small holes may need to be cut in over-the-bedrail bedliners to secure clamps; under-the-bedrail bedliners do not require modification.
5. Attach Cover Assembly: Place the pre-assembled cover onto the installed side rails, aligning the front header with the front of the bed. Secure the front header to the side rails using the integrated fasteners.
6. Adjust Tension: The cover includes a tension system at the end of the side rails. Adjust this system to keep the vinyl tarp tight and wrinkle-free.

6. Operating Instructions

The T2 Low Profile Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover is designed for convenient access to your truck bed.

6.1. Opening the Cover (Rolling Up)

1. Release Latch: At the tailgate end, locate and release the latch lock system.
2. Detach Velcro: Gently peel back the Velcro strip along both side rails, starting from the tailgate.
3. Roll Up: Carefully roll the marine-grade vinyl tarp towards the cab of the truck. The built-in horizontal crossbars will roll up with the tarp.
4. Secure in Open Position: Once fully rolled, secure the cover at the back of the cab using the integrated straps or buckles to maximize access to the pickup truck bed.

6.2. Closing the Cover (Rolling Down)

1. Unsecure Cover: Release the straps or buckles holding the cover in the open position.
2. Roll Down: Slowly unroll the vinyl tarp towards the tailgate, ensuring it remains centered on the side rails.
3. Secure Velcro: Press down firmly along the Velcro strips on both side rails to secure the cover.
4. Engage Latch: At the tailgate end, engage the latch lock system to fully secure the cover.

6.3. Utilizing Bed Rail Surface

The T2's sleek low-profile design allows the cover rails to extend over the bed space, enabling full utilization of the bed rail surface and stake pockets for mounting other truck bed accessories.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your tonneau cover.

• Cleaning: Wash the vinyl tarp regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the vinyl. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
• Vinyl Protection: Apply a UV protectant specifically designed for vinyl to prevent fading and cracking due to sun exposure.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all clamps, latches, and fasteners to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly. Tighten any loose hardware.
• Weather Seals: Check weather seals for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain water resistance.
• Tension Adjustment: Adjust the tension system as needed to keep the cover taut, especially in varying weather conditions.

8. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Cover Not Lying Flat/Wrinkled: Adjust the tension system located at the end of the side rails. Ensure the cover is properly centered and the Velcro strips are fully engaged.
• Water Leakage: Check all weather seals, especially at the front bulkhead and along the side rails. Ensure clamps are tight and the cover is properly latched at the tailgate. Minor water intrusion during heavy rain is possible with any soft cover.
• Difficulty Rolling/Unrolling: Ensure the side rails are clean and free of obstructions. Check that the latch system is fully disengaged when rolling up.
• Loose Clamps: Periodically re-tighten all mounting clamps to ensure the side rails remain securely attached to the truck bed.
