Do I need to drill into my bed rails to install this?

This tonneau is designed to mount at factory mounting points—no drilling required. You'll need basic hand tools and a helper to position the panels correctly during setup.

Can I paint this cover to match my truck?

The hard panels can be painted if you want a custom match. Light surface prep and primer are standard before topcoat. Test on a small section first since paint adhesion depends on the panel surface texture.

What if the seal doesn't feel tight after installation?

Most seal gaps come from uneven bed surface or tonneau misalignment. Double-check that all mounting clamps are snug and the cover is centered front-to-back. Reseat it a couple times to let the gaskets settle properly.
