How do I care for my vinyl tonneau cover?
The vinyl fabric on your tonneau cover can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and may be hand washed or safely cleaned in the car wash of your choice. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue. Vinyl cover can be treated with any vinyl protectants made for tonneau covers. Never clean cover with petroleum or citrus-based products, and avoid silicone based protectants.
How do I adjust the tension on my tonneau cover?
Set tension during warmest part of day. With cover closed, release hook and loop fasteners from both side rails near cab. Roll cover opened and rotate tension controls to adjust. Close cover and recheck. Repeat until satisfactory tension is achieved.
Will the Lo-Pro QT work with my other truck accessories?
Yes! The unique inside mount design of the Lo-Pro QT rails enables you to accessorize with most bed rails, bed liners, and rail caps.
Can I lock the Lo-Pro QT?
The Lo-Pro QT secures automatically when latched at the rear, and provides added security when used with a locking tailgate. It can not be opened until the tailgate is unlocked and opened. There are no additional locks or sliding mechanisms needed to lock the cover.
Will it work in the winter as well as in the summer?
The fabric expands slightly in cold weather, so it is very easy to operate – even at 20 degrees below zero! There are no cumbersome snaps or zip-strips to hassle with – no more tugging on the fabric to get it snapped. Just roll it back and latch into place. Then slide your hand along the sides to engage the Velcro® brand fasteners on the sides.
Will it work with a 5th wheel?
Yes! Simply roll the cover all the way open and secure with security straps at the front of the bed. This allows you full access to your 5th wheel.
Can I still open my tailgate with the Lo-Pro QT on my truck?
Yes – the Lo-Pro QT does not restrict the tailgate. The rear header functions independently of the tailgate so there is nothing to remove when opening the tailgate.
Does it come in different colors?
The Lo Pro is available in five popular colors including Black, Navy Blue, Buckskin, Charcoal Grey and Light Grey. We recommend that you call customer service at 877-878-9336 to have a color sample of the fabric sent to you before ordering. An additional charge may apply for colored covers. See dealer for details.
I have a bed extender. Will it work with it?
The TruXedo® Lo Pro QT side rails extend 3" into the bed on each side. In order to use the bed extender, it must not come within 3" of the side of the bed when rotated, or it must be able to detach from the truck, be manually rotated and re-attached. An adaptor kit is available to be purchased separately for 05-07 Nissan Frontiers and Nissan Titans with utili-trac systems. Please contact a dealer for more information.
I have a truck with a utility track system in the bed. Can I still use a Lo Pro QT?
Many of the late-model trucks have a utility track system to make the truck bed more accessory and user-friendly. We research all of the new trucks to make sure we have the best hardware to attach the cover to the truck. The hardware kits for these beds include modified clamps that will work with the various utility track systems. If you have questions on specific models, please contact customer service at 1-877-878-9336.
I live in a region that is very hot. Will the Lo-Pro QT fabric fade in the sun?
The fabric used in the Lo-Pro QT is very high quality and has been tested in extreme conditions. It is UV-protected and will not fade in the sun.
How long will it take to install it myself?
Typically, the Lo Pro QT can be installed easily in minutes!
Where can I order replacement parts for my TruXedo® Lo-Pro QT?
Only replacement part orders can go directly through TruXedo® by calling 1-877-878-9336.
Will I be able to open my Honda Ridgeline trunk?
Yes. Your trunk is fully functional and will open approximately 85% of the way.
Will the Lo Pro QT work with a drop in bed liner that goes over the bed rails?
Yes, it will work with a drop in bed liner that goes over the bed rails. However, installation for this particular application will vary slightly from the normal installation process. Small holes (approximately 2'x4") would need to be cut in the bed liner where the clamps will be installed. This allows access to the inner lip of the truck bed. If the liner goes over the front bulkhead and creates a radius at the front, you may need to cut slits in the bed liner at the front of the bed to allow the rails to push further forward in the bed.
Why is there a hole punched on the rear of the passenger side rail of the TruXedo Lo Pro QT, but no latch present?
The reason the rails are all punched the same way is to keep them uniform, for manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs.
I own a Nissan Frontier, will it work with my utility track system?
Yes, it will work with your track system. If your truck has the track system, install two clamps on each side rail, locating clamps at each end of Utili-track channels.
I own a Nissan Frontier and the application listing states that it does not include QT header guides. What exactly does that mean?
The design of the Nissan Frontier is that the cab partially sits over top of the bulkhead. This minimizes space for the front header to sit on the bulkhead. In order for this kit to function properly, a cab weather seal is applied to the back of the bulkhead creating a larger contact surface for sealing. By adding this cab seal, it shortens the length of the truck bed and Lo Pro QT side rails. Since the rails are shortened on the Frontier kit, there is a possibility that the standard header guides would slide off the front of the side rails. We chose to bolt the front header to the side rails through an oblong hole, which still allows the tension control to be functional and eliminates the possibility of the front header from sliding off of the side rails.
