Care and Cleaning
•Wash only with mild soap & dry with a clean cloth.
•Avoid the use of automatic “brush-syle” car washes.
•Do not use cleaning solvents of any kind.
•Pressure car washes are okay as long as you hold the wand no closer than two feet from the cover.
•We recommend the same quality products normally used for vinyl tops to keep the cover clean. When using a protectant, be
sure that it is water based.

position the two rear clamps must be in there
storage position so the latch handles do not
puncture the cover and void the warranty.
The retaining straps must be buckled when vehicle is in motion if Tonneau is in the folded position.
