Access Original Roll Up Tonneau install

Installed my Access Roll Up this last weekend and it fits like a glove. Really a nice quality add-on. Almost looks OEM.

Only one hassle- the vinyl tarp was folded over in the box top when it was packed. So there's a permanent crease. Didn't think much of it when I installed it. Figured it'd just smooth out in the sun or when stretched. But the crease appears to be permanent. I'll have to contact Access and see what they say.


Included installation hardware.


The OEM bed rails come off and the Access cover rails get sandwiched in between the bed sides and the OEM accessory rails. Hit the 4 bolts on each side with some WD-40 the night before install so you don't strip the bolts (Torx 30). They're locked in there real good. You've been warned. Don't screw this up.


I cut out the semi-circle of weather strip behind each spacer with an x-acto knife. So that the rails would sit level. I also added a very thin washer (purchased separately) behind each spacer- also to assist with leveling. Without them, the rail had a little bit of a inward angle to them. I wanted them level (OCD).


Here you can see the crease from packing. But the cover is tight as a drum. Really nice. The pattern on the vinyl has been very recently updated. It's a nice pattern. Not fake leather anymore.


All rolled up. Again, the crease. Dammit. Hate to complain but it's annoying. Other than that flaw the cover is absolutely awesome. Can't believe I went 20 years without one on my tacos.


Very nice rails. Very solid and sturdy. And level!

 

Harpo, they should replace that I would think. Let me know what you find out.

 

Update: Access overnighted a new tarp to me to replace the creased one. Awesome customer service. One email and issue was resolved.

 

I believe Access now provides mounting points that slide into the factory cargo rails. Still happy with this cover? Any water infiltration especially at the tailgate? From what I can tell from pictures and video's, it appears there is no seal for the tailgate.

 

Anyone know where I can find the black washers that go in between the rails and bed side. Trying to sell mine and would like everything to be there
