    2 part question I got what I think to be a oem cover for a good deal my truck didn't have one from factory and Toyota doesn't sell them only from factory so found one. First question are there special bed rail covers that have cutouts to mount the cover? Second this piece is broken will it be hard to find it goes were the fold is?

    Yes, but they're pricey:

    A better plan is to swap with the person you're buying your tonneau from. That's what I did. They just pull up, carefully.

    Don't forget to get the little rubber plug pieces that sit in the gaps on each side below the head rail, iirc they cost $60 to replace.

    That small piece that fills that gap broke on mine also. The other half of it should still be attached to the cover. I took it apart and JB welded it back together and havent had a problem with it since.
