the rear panel using your ignition
key.

in the pickup box.
• To close, lower the rear panel on
the pickup box.

To stow the rear panel:

• Before driving with the rear panel
open, unlock the rear panel.
• Lift the rear panel up, lay it on
top of the front panel and secure
it with the two straps to the
exterior tiedowns on the pickup
box.
Failure to secure the rear panel
could damage the tonneau cover

rear panels.

front panel.
• Pull the release levers on the underside of the tonneau cover from the
