Thanks for the help. I’m not a diy guy at all and I was able to install mine last night with no issues. 1 hour, 3 beers, and no expletives

This was the most helpful video, showed every step in detail ! Better than the paper instructions

[@robyull4287]

Just installed one of these on my f150. I'm very happy with it. Someone said any fool can install one in 30 minutes....and I just proved it🤠

[@freddycolon8974]

Just put mine on, this video was extremely helpful, thank you so much!

[@lkslts]

I found the written instructions a little confusing. But the video answered all of my questions. I am very thankful.

[@abosworth]

Nice video, I have one of these coming for my Tundra this evening. I will definitely try the loosest setting for the cover first. That makes sense. You wouldn't want to start with the tightest and stretch it way out and then not ever be able to make it tighter

[@philiphurban9498]

Just finished installing my cover. Was so easy after watching your video. Thanks because I hate reading instructions. Looks great

[@sullivanfamily3261]

Video made it much easier to install than the directions show. Very helpful.

just got done istalling my new gator cover and it is sweet. Thanks for making this video

[@grillPERSON]

MrNewmanRay does it come with weather strips?

[@MrNewmanRay]

grillPERSON yes they are built in

[@grillPERSON]

MrNewmanRay so you think it's worth it I'm about to order it lol

[@sonyreese]

thank you so much, was given a tonneau cover that was used so had no logo on it to figure out the brand, after hours of trying to figure it out myself i found this video, and done. thanks so much

This video helped me install my gator cover a few weeks ago. I'm curious what brand of nerf bars are installed on this RAM?

[@kevingoddard9287]

Just bought mine! Cant wait until it gets here so I can install it!

[@JeremyAugustus]

The instructions show the bottom parts of the clamps flat to each other, but the video shows them at an angle. Nbd if I follow the video and ignore the instructions, right? :)

[@JoeyIngles]

Great job.

[@frostyan]

good thinking for this video .

Need to add installing weather seal on end caps

[@josephmoschetto2784]

How do you trouble shoot when you have a problem with latching

[@1BAYB7783]

Doesn't work with a trailfx Bedliner?

[@marshallfox1786]

Does the rear rubber seal sit on top of the tailgate trim piece? Or does the tailgate close on it? Thanks.

[@kylegieselmann7455]

Yea I have same question because it’s a lot of extra rubber, not sure if I need to trim it or not

[@marshallfox1786]

kyle gieselmann I read the instructions again and it’s suggested that u close the tailgate on it. I switched it to that way rather than on top of the tailgate and it’s been fine. Less hassle when closing the tailgate. I do have a tailgate liner and I think that creates more of a seal also.

[@VenomTT]

Is this the srx or the sr2?

[@jeremiahhanson8747]

Ive got a gator!! Very nice!! But now i have a tool box. Anyway of shortening my cover?

[@robbiejk9613]

A saw? 😂

[@davidcarmona4362]

How do u attach the cover to the front piece. Mine came separate.

[@jacobsiegfried1498]

Didnt see you water test it I guarantee that thing leaks at the front corners

[@RB-tx4mn]

These aren't water proof, you do know that right?

[@jsswertfeger6231]

This video was excellent. The written instructions are horrid. Either take the written instructions and throw them away and simply send this link - or fire the tech writer and start over.

[@robbiejk9613]

Anybody who thinks a Gator cover is hard to install probably needs to not own a bed cover.

[@maxmartz4665]

Very difficult to return. Make sure you order the cover you will be stuck with. 30 day return strategy is keep you on hold or promise to get back with you until 30day expires. I guess I'll toss it in the pit for new garage. Less fill needed. Run from this company

[@timinman7019]

Really hard to learn in an "instructional" when your hands are blocking the view of the item you're installing. Just saying.

[@andrewwells4117]

Its a piece of shxx i bought mine in novembee alrweady took it off.

[@RB-tx4mn]

Enlighten us as to why?
