LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

WARRANTY COVERAGE
This truck bed cover is warrantied against defects in materials or workmanship as follows. This warranty is void if the product has been damaged in an accident, or due to neglect, unforeseeable use, improper installation, improper servicing, or other cause not arising out of defects in material or workmanship.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY ON HARD PARTS
All hardware included with your truck bed cover, including rails, clamps and bows carry a limited lifetime warranty, subject to the terms below.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR FABRIC
The fabric on your truck bed cover carries a limited lifetime warranty, subject to the terms below.

WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
The warranty is to the initial consumer purchasing the truck bed cover and it is not transferrable to a subsequent end user.
Proof of purchase may be required to enforce these warranty rights.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS
Failure to follow these warnings and care instructions will void the warranty:

Clean with mild automotive soap and water only.
Do not use conditioners that contain silicone or petroleum (e.g., Armor All®).
The tonneau cover must be secured at all points when the vehicle is in motion. When not fully closed with the rear latch engaged the cover must be completely rolled up and secured at the cab with both provided retainer straps attached.
Do NOT drive with the bed cover in a partially open position.
Cargo should not contact the tarp at any point. Protrusions in the tarp will stress the fabric. Cargo may also shift while traveling causing it to press against the fabric and damage it.
Do NOT tie cargo to truck bed cover framework.
Check rail clamps for tightness after a week of driving following the installation of the cover and periodically thereafter.
Do NOT roll the cover into the rear cab window. Do NOT stow the cover against the cab of the truck.
If the cover is going to be rolled open for an extended amount of time, periodically re-roll the cover and secure the retainer straps to ensure the cover doesn’t rest against the cab of the truck.
Before opening, the cover must be free of all foreign materials including snow and ice.
Do NOT tow your vehicle from the rear with the cover on your vehicle. If towing from the rear is required, the cover MUST be removed from the vehicle and properly stored.

WARRANTY PERFORMANCE
If all warranty conditions are met, a defective truck bed cover, tarp, or hardware component will either be repaired or replaced (at our option). We reserve the right, for any warranty, to substitute a newer model of bed cover having similar form and function, to offer a warranty discount on an entire replacement system, and/or provide remedies other than those mentioned in this document.

WARRANTY PROCESS
A Return Material Authorization number must be obtained from our Customer Service Department prior to returning any product.
We may require the original item to be returned postage prepaid for final determination. Shipping charges will apply for any repair or replacement. Other than postage or shipping charges, no charge will be made for repair or replacement under this warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. As a consumer, you may also have additional rights and remedies under the laws of your state.

A fully rolled cover in the open position must always be secured with retainer straps.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

WRINKLES ON THE FABRIC AFTER ROLLING COVER CLOSED
Pull the fabric taut from each side. For best results, the help of a second person pulling on the opposite side is preferable.
SAGGING FABRIC BETWEEN THE CROSS BOWS
Adjustment to automatic tension control may be required.
WIND LIFTS UP THE EDGE OF THE FABRIC
Make sure to engage the hook and loop on the driver and passenger side rails after closing the cover. This may need to be done periodically when taking long trips.
FABRIC FLUTTERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING
Check cover tension, refer to the Automatic Tension Control section.
Make sure hook and loop fasteners are set. See Step 13 – 14.
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE FABRIC
Use broom or brush to remove loose snow and ice. DO NOT use sharp or pointed tools to remove snow and ice.
Direct sunlight will help melt snow and ice off the fabric.
TONNEAU COVER WILL NOT LATCH
Check side rails to make sure they are level. See Step 7.
Make sure the header seal is not caught between side rails & header.
Check the position of side rails on the pickup box. They may be positioned too low. See Step 7.
Make sure the cover has proper tension, refer to the Automatic Tension Control section.
FABRIC IS TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE
See Automatic Tension Control section to adjust tension.
FABRIC HAS SHIFTED TOO FAR TO ONE SIDE
Unlatch the cover at the tailgate, release the hook and loop along both sides, go to the shorter side of the tarp and tug.
The fabric will slide in the aluminum headers. Pull on the shorter side until the tarp appears centered on the whole system.
Latch the cover and secure the hook and loop down both sides. Repeat if more adjustment is needed.

COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Clean with soap and water. Do not use vinyl conditioners (i.e. Armor All®).
It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closure. Clean away any excess dirt or grime.
Covers that are used frequently or are subject to vibrations and impacts from rough roadways may require adjustment.

FAQ

WHY IS THERE A HOLE PUNCHED AT THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE RAIL OF THE

TRUXEDO LO PRO, DEUCE AND PRO X15 BUT NO LATCH?

All side rails are punched identically to keep them uniform, to ensure manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs.
By doing this, TruXedo can build and ship more covers while maintaining competitively priced products of the highest quality.

WHY IS MY COVER HOLDING WATER AFTER IT RAINS?

Water pooling on the cover is normal because our cross bows are not arched. Since they are designed to sit flat some water may accumulate on the top of the cover. Once you drive your truck, the water will shed from the cover. Make sure to retighten the hook and loop fasteners along the length of the bed.
