Do I need fasteners or brackets for installation?

This tonneau mounts at factory points, so fastening hardware is standard. Confirm your bed hardware is in place before install — if mounting bolts are missing, you'll need replacements from your vehicle's parts supplier.

Should I prep or seal the mounting rails before installing?

Inspect the factory bed rails for rust or debris and clean them first. No primer or coating is required on your end — just ensure the mating surfaces are dry before tightening down.

How do I maintain the weatherseal on this cover?

Check the seal monthly for cracks or separation, especially after winter. Clean the seal and mounting rails with mild soap and water. A silicone-based lubricant on the roll mechanism keeps it smooth — avoid petroleum products that can degrade seals.
