Model 4050 Toyota Tacoma Quad Cab 2005–Current w/Multi-Track System
Page 7
FORM # IG4050
Modified April 2005
FACT:
In less than one minute, you can both take on and off the
Undercover tonneau. Fastest removal system in the industry.
Install hydraulic struts making sure LARGE end of strut is attached to the tonneau, and SMALL or rod
end is attached to the ball stud on rear center strut bracket
Page 8, Figure 7, Picture A.
Be sure that the front flap seal hangs over the bulkhead of the truck and is not rolled under the tonneau
after installation. If flap seal is rolled under the tonneau, open the tonneau and from the inside use a yardstick or
something similar to push the flap seal out from under the tonneau and over the bulkhead

Close tonneau and check length on the truck. There should be 1/8” -to- 3/8” gap between the tailgate
and the tonneau. If this is not correct, adjust by moving front brackets forward or back to achieve correct length.
Front brackets may also have to be adjusted independently to “square-up” tonneau on some truck beds.
Adjust lock strikes

. When adjusted properly you should be able to turn the key to the
locked position without having to push down on the tonneau. There should be a very slight amount of play
between the lock cam and lock strike. A good rule of thumb is to adjust the lock to have approximately 1/8” gap
between the cam and lock strike with the truck tailgate down. This usually gives you the proper adjustment after
the tailgate is shut

WARNING: It is very important to be able to turn the key without any resistance. Do not try to
force the lock cam to turn if you encounter resistance. This could result in a broken key or
broken lock. Adjustment may be necessary to the lock strike plate to achieve a smooth turn
without any resistance.
