Nothing I did but got my Mopar Rigid Trifold Tonneau from the dealer. Didn’t order my Laramie but the dealer did with the Tonneau included on the sticker. Asked them where the cover was at the test drive and my sales rep told me it was stolen off the truck in their lot.Had to order me a replacement.

Looks good! In order to close the tailgate, do you have to flip open the panel then close the tailgate? Or simply close the tailgate?

How do you like this cover?
I'm thinking about ordering one from my dealer. I think it is basically a MX 4 Bak Flip cover with the Mopar badge on it.

Very nice!! I love mine. (was installed when I purchased the truck) I’d highly recommend the Mopar tri fold to anyone looking for a versatile Tonneau cover. Glad they made it right for you

Could someone take a picture of the cover when it’s fully retracted? I have one but honestly want to get rid of it, I can’t figure out how to keep it from banging against the rear window..

Are you using the prop rods and adjust the slide down to tighten it securely?

I figured that’s what those are for.. trying to but the rods are too long! Also, what are the tubes for in the corners by the cab? It appears to be a part of the cover but I’m not sure what it is.

I have the same issue. You can take the thumb screw off, remove bracket, reinstall and it will work. I’ve tried to adjust the cover but decided to see if it gets better after a little time.

I'll Look at mine tomorrow in the morning and see why mine doesn't have the same problem? And PSHammer is correct, the tubes are for water draining.

The track is adjustable turn the knob, that’s how you use the rods

I can get them to fit, but it includes backing out the thumb screw all the way to slide the track up high enough to fit, and even then it’s real tight. I believe I understand how it’s supposed to work, just not sure why mine isn’t..

So far so good but honestly haven’t the need to use it much. Just opened and closed it a few times. Seems like a good quality tonneau. Supposedly you can stand on it but I wouldn’t recommend.
Only design flaw I see is the need to totally back out the thumb screws to insert the prop rods into the channel. You need to do this when opening the third panel against the cab.

Does it lock to somewhat secure your cargo and if so how? Looks great.

I just had that tonneau cover installed this morning. I did not have them show me how to get all four sections up at the back, but I will the next time I go to my dealer. I hope they cannot be stolen too easily, but anything can be stolen as nobody cares if they damage what they are stealing. I was just told when you shut your tailgate that the tonneau cover cannot be lifted. On the section closest to the tailgate there is a cord to pull to open it when you lift the tailgate so it is locked every time your tailgate is locked. Without destroying the tailgate I would assume it is secure. I just purchased my truck a couple of weeks ago and they had to order it. I paid for it as it was not part of the deal. I got it for $833 with tax and maybe your dealer will give you a discount if that is a discount--maybe more than normal but don't think so. They really gave me a discount on labor-$68 for install. Looks great on that bed. I would just let my dealer look at your tonneau cover if you have the Mopar model and the dealer installed it since it is covered for the 3-36. Let the techs show you how to operate it or correct it if there is a malfunction.

The cover itself does not lock but you can’t open the cover with the tailgate closed or locked. In this sense it makes the bed inaccessible unless the tailgate is open.
