Oem tonneau cover

Anyone know factory torque spec for the bolt that holds the oem tonneau cover in?

 

Not sure there is one, I keep mine wrist tight; there is no structural need to have it any tighter than that. In fact, last weekend I was helping my daughter and (future) son-in-law move and he took the lead on putting the cover back on the bed just prior to my wife and I driving home. Two hours and more than 120 miles later when I stopped for gas I noticed he'd forgotten to put the bolt back in; the tonneau cover stayed perfectly in place in spite of some very high winds along the route.

 

Understood, i cant find the information anywhere lol scoured the internet.. didnt think it would be hard to find. Can only find the instructions manual front page lol but i just torqued it to 25 pounds called it a day

 

That’s kinda crazy it didn’t go anywhere especially high winds

 

tight? idk. i always did it by feel. maybe 10-12 newton meters? my hands aren't really calibrated though

 

Yeah, most of us have only moderately well calibrated butt dynos and torquewrists compared to mechanical devices.
