    How do you remove the pins that the factory tonneau locks onto?

    I am thinking I will need to remove the cover in order to fit my kargo master ladder rack and bedrails.

    Remove bed rail caps. Those plastic pieces On top of the bed. Then pull the little plastic piece around the pegs out. Should be screwed in I believe.

    Remove the plastic by the pin. You can then take out the two bolts mounting it to the bed. It's a torx drive.

    It's easy to do. I took one out to see if it was adjustable. It isn't, but with a little work it could be.
