Got mine on Amazon for 135! I had the tri-fold for my frontier but opted for the roll-up for f150. The roll-up is way better! You don't lose bed space when you use your bed!
Thank you for your feedback Robert!
Just installed mine on a 2020 Ram Laramie Sport... took maybe 40 minutes but im extremely picky when it comes to my truck so I took my time to align it right the first time. I like it so far the fit is perfect and the cover laid down with no wrinkles and minimal waves so I'm sure once the sun warms it up it will be perfect. Will see how durable with time.
I'm very happy with mine. The only snag I had was it shifted rearward during installation, so I had to loosen everything up again, slide it forward, and then re-tighten. I've had it for 4 months now and it keeps the leaves and water out of the bed very nicely. I agree with other commenters that it's the better choice. It has the ribs to keep the shape but it can roll up so you don't lose bed space.
Thank you John for your feedback. Did you have to adjust the tension plate as well?
Got mine yesterday and installed this morning. Pretty straight forward...just wish the tailgate rail would fit a little tighter against the top of the tailgate. 2013 ram 1500
If you need further support on installation don't hesitate to ask our service team at support@tygerauto.com
Just install mine. Easy installation I thought I would need my son help with this. But it was just too easy! Thanks for a great video!
Thank you Dannie, glad to be of service!
So simple to install. Maybe 15 minutes. Looks great! 2022 Tacoma
Thanks for the video. Installed it in 10 minutes by myself. Great quality.
Appreciate the support!
My lock is tight but it pools water bad and is sagging a ton. Very frustrating ive been trying to move to rails outwards for so long and cannot...
If you haven't already I would reach out to our service team to see how we can help improve your experience - support@tygerauto.com
I had numerous difficulties with the installation on a 2013 Tacoma. Had to make at least 6 adjustments with the rails and still not correct. Also, the clamps were uber confusing. I only used part of mine because the entire clamp would not fit. Why even send it then? The end rails were 'off' so the latch would not catch. So, I moved it back, like the video suggested only to discover the end of the cover hit the top of the rail and would not close. I used the weather strip enclosed and there is still a gap by the beginning of the cover. All in all, the instructions were minimal as is the video. Could do a lot better.
Hello Andrew, thank you for your feedback on the installation. We always take comments like this to heart and strive to improve the experience for our customer. We apologize that it hasn't been the smoothest ordeal for you. Please let us know if you are still experiencing difficulties getting a good fit or if you need more strips to fill in the remaining gaps and we can have our team reach out to you.
He forgot about the screw on each side that secures each side rail to the front rail. expect to have to tinker a little. but easy to install
Not only skipped over front rail screw, but also on prep’ing the front rail of bed (cleaning surface) to obtain a great seal from the weather stripping - and weather stripping thin/thick depending on whether you have a bedliner (use thin) versus directly on top of front rail bed body (use thick), right?
@@ToughCowboy Yes fill space if you have gap.
@@ToughCowboy how water tight are these covers?
Just got mine installing tomorrow
My husband just installed Tyger bed cover using this video. Perfect Results!!!
this is a great bed cover
Thank you!
This was so clutch, thank you so much!!
2 years strong on my tyger roll up cover. Customer service is Awsome on replacement rusted parts! 🤙🏽 mahalo. Ps. How can i get a tyger decal for my truck?
Hi, please contact us at Support@TygerAuto.com for it. Thank you for your business!
Is it possible to temporarily remove it from the bed once it’s installed? It’s been awhile since I installed mine and can’t remember how permanent the front rail is. I might have to make a wood cap to move and protect something that’s a little taller than the bed sides.
The front rail is not permanently fixed so it should be easy for you to remove then reinstall at a later time. The T1 is secured via the side rail clamps and there's no screws or clamps for the front rail.
About to install in my Ram ,be back after a short commercial brake....🤪🤣🤣
Just got mine from you guys I'm installing it today 🤘🤘
Anybody else read the reviews that say it keeps the bed “bone dry” (2019 F150 5.5’ bed), but after install and properly using the weather stripping etc., it still has some leaks?
And yes I made sure the cover is properly aligned, the cross bars are arched upwards, it’s properly stretched, velcroed, clamped, and latched.
It’s not much leaking but it’s enough (particularly around the corners close to the rear window where the weather stripping meets the bed cover at the corners/edges) that suitcases etc. might get too wet...
Wondering if I’m missing something or if this is normal.
its prolly normal, 99% of bed covers are not 100% waterproof. I have a drop in liner and it has deep grooves so even if water gets in it wont soak the luggage in the bed
Just perfect. easy install,look awesome ans solid.thanks
The weather strip is mentioned in the assembly book, but not in the video.
Thank you for your feedback Laurie! For the next version we will be sure to incorporate it.
Very easy installation...very clean cover...I would recommend....just remember to get the width right on the sides for the Velcro to align correctly
You should sell a cleaner for the cover to ensure it doesn't get ruined if someone cleans it with acid.
Guess what, we've got just the cleaning product you asked. www.tygerauto.com/cleaner-protectant.html - this works for our T1 & T3 series (not T5)
Every the ad says it is!
I've got one for my 2018 Ram 1500 and I cannot get the cover to stay latched. I have tried everything you mentioned in the video but can't get it to sit the right way.
Hi htgi85, if you haven't already, please reach out to us at support@tygerauto.com so we can have a look for you.
What about the foam strip that was in the box? I don't see that being installed in the video?? Is it optional?
It depends on the vehicle you have. Some trucks have uneven panel railings for which foam strips are mandatory. For the rest, we recommend users to apply them if there is even the smallest of gaps between the 3 side panel railings/tailgate and the cover which would allow water to seep through. Look for the gaps from the inside of the trunk bed and try squirting some water along the edges from the outside to narrow down the area that needs to be sealed. Hope this helps.
Does anyone else have the problem with the rails not lining up even with both bed rails?
I also have a problem where there is a small gap that water can get into by the tailgate from a small gap where the cover closes and the bed rail ends
Please contact our service team at Support@TygerAuto.com with your photos of the issue, they will help you out!
I baught mine a few days ago it does not stay latched i can open it without pulling on the cable underneath
Very good
Thanks
i installed mine upside down because i wanted to be different , then it blue off in the wind while driving on the high way..........
Please install it by following our instruction strictly to avoid any safety issue. Any question, please contact us at Support@TygerAuto.com. Thanks!
You should have gotten a different color then. Maybe wouldn’t have had that problem.
I hope this actually happened LOL
So what you’re saying is that you are retarded?
@@Mike_S_68 it was a joke
I couldnt install it properly it wasn’t latching ill have to do some adjustments but looks good on the truck good quality
Any question, please email to our customer service team at Support@TygerAuto.com.
I moved my latches back off of the marks (toward cab) and also moved the rails inward until the catches would lock in the latches, if that makes sense. If you'll notice that around 3:07 he's moving the latch - and also note the rail is not dead even on the liner. This is how mine wound up. Although mine is off the measuring marks by a good "mark and half," it's as tight as a drum. But I suspect as it wears, it will need the latches moved to make up for any slack developed over the years. Under dire circumstances where someone risked their life to steal my truck, would I buy another Tyger? I would. It was installed today under cloudy but very warm day in an hour and a half. And that being with several breaks to watch this video. In my humble experience, the keys are to simply leave the clamps tight enough to hold the rails in place but loose because you will be moving the rails. Do not get hung up on the instructions to make sure the rail is parallel with the liner/bed. You may be over a 16th as at 3:07. And I may get a finger wagging from the company, but I (eventually) wasn't worried about the rail being even on the liner/bed. My rail back at the latches is probably over into the bed just like in the video. But my rail up front is parallel with the liner as you can't move that part of the "frame" due to the cover rail that goes behind your cab window. It's a fixed piece that is not adjustable. Mine isn't perfect but very serviceable. A spacer behind the latch would make mine perfect. Anyway. Hope this helps. Just finished mine about an hour ago.
How stiff should the cover be after install?
The latch should be quite stiff and the tarp shouldn't be sagging. But you can adjust the tarp after with the Velcro strip.
Just installed my cover but the back has a gap between cover and tailgate, any recommendations?
Be certain that you've stretched out the tarp as much as possible - the Velcro might keep it from being stretched as you unroll. Keep adjusting. The result should be pretty tight to generate tension on the locking mechanism. If you're certain of that, then I suggest that you reach out to our product team - support@tygerauto.com so we can help you troubleshoot your installation.
How tight does the screw need to be when connecting the side rails to the bulkhead rail?
Better not to overtighten it from the start and then adjust as needed.
My handle that pulls the pins out so you can roll the cover up rattles like crazy. Any ideas?
Hello Eastin, thank you for your purchase first of all. With regards to your comment, it would be best, if you haven't don so already, to reach out to our product support team - support@tygerauto.com so they can have a look at your issue.
For the life of me, I can't pull the cover closed. The lip on the back cover is hitting the end of the side rails, unless I pull on them very hard (aside from fears about breaking something, when I mange to seal it, the lip is sticking up a good 1/4 to 1/2 inch) . The other end of the side rails are flush against the back bar. I tried loosening the clamps a little, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Help!
Hello Brad, since you've already tried loosening the clamps and I assume you also stretched out the Velcro so the tarp is not folded in anyway. I would suggest that you reach out to our service team at support@tygerauto.com so we can help you look into what is causing the challenges you face. Would be helpful to prepare images of the current state of your install so we can accelerate the response.
There’s a gap big enough to slide your hand in and unlock the cover on mine, thinking on sending it back or if you guys know a fix
Hi, please contact our service team at Support@TygerAuto.com with some photos. They will figure out for you if it's installation issue and help you out.
Hey the side rails are too long for my Nissan titan. Should I cut them to fit?
No they are fitted to the size of the cover, then the cover will be too long and it'll be a mess.
Wondering if this can be adapted to work with the Yakima Outpost HD? Appreciate that it might mean making changes that will end any warranty, but keen to know if anyone has made the cover compatible with the Yakima rack?
Hi Blether. Thank you for the comment. Yes, you're correct to assess that modding the cover would void the warranty. Also, any changes to the positioning of the rail would guarantee the locking mechanism to misfire and not latch.
Maybe a link to the product in the description.
Just added. Thank you!
Wo, same day ask and I shall revive kind of stuff. Very cool. Thanks for the video and the link. Much appreciated .
My box did not include the side rails. What number should I call?
Hi AG MT, I see that you also left us a message on our T3 video which doesn't come with side rails. Can you please first confirm the tonneau cover model you purchased?
Why is there a half inch gap between the tension plate and the cover lock. Everything is lined up until I roll it down it doesn’t lock into place To much space for it to click
Please contact out service team at Support@TygerAuto.com with some photos of the said issue, they will help you out!
No mention of which step to add the Front Seal Strip. Does it go underneath or next to the cover?
Hi, the seal goes underneath. You may refer to the instruction on www.TygerAuto.com.
@@TYGERAUTO the link didn't help find the answer.
wow, nothing on the weather strip that everyone on amazon says to put on first, smh.
Mine only works and stays when it's tight, when it's "normal" or lose it pops up. I have to force close it in for it to work and stay shut
Yes, the cover must stay closed tight.
Does anyone have installed it in a Tacoma 2021?
Thanks
Guys is this worth buying? Or should I go with the triple fold type thats hard plastic.
a bed cover is definitely worth it, if you do not like the roll up, tyger also have a soft trifold which is what i have
"Position them to the inside edge" = not entirely true. 2016 ford f150 short bed, while it did line up the inside edge its MORE important to line up the padding under the metal strip to the plastic grooves on the bed piece. There is a channel in the padding and the plastic truck piece.
I lined up the edge only and if was off that ridge just a little. The amount of air that slipped under while driving was astounding.
Hi, please contact our service team at Support@TygerAuto.com, they will help you out. Thanks!
@@TYGERAUTO help with what? I helped others.
HELP I’m trying to install my cover and it will not lock I have tried everything from moving the rails in and out and adjusting the tensioner. Nothing works. HELP.
DISREGARD I SAID SCREW IT AND AM RETURNING IT.
Hello Adam, I understand you may have already made your decision regarding your purchase. Without knowing exactly your situation, typically, the most common way to troubleshoot your difficulty is to make sure the tarp is fully stretched out from the velcro so you get the maximum extension to be able to latch the locking mechanism. It should be very tight in order to get the tension needed to lock. Other than that, you can always reach out to our product team at support@tygerauto.com to receive further support.
@@TYGERAUTO hello thank u for replying. I was a little Hot during my previous attempt at installing the T1 cover. It was a used cover and I believe it was damaged and not marked. I have since ordered a new one and will attempt it again. I really what it to work as I like the Tyger brand having had the side armor steps and the hitch step.
Bout to install now, I'll let you know how it goes 👍
How’d it go?
@@David.. looks great! Easy install, I did it myself in the cold in about 30 minutes. I have a 2015 f150 and there's not really metal to screw the clamps into, but the hard plastic works fine.
Hardest part was aligning both sides so that it looks good on the tail end of the truck. The tailgate on mine kind of bows out slightly, where the cover is straight across, but if you work with it you can find the happy medium to get it looking good!
Nice, just installed last night on my Frontier, was a bit of a faff getting it things to line up but really surprised at the the quality of the cover.
@@David.. yeah that's basically how I felt about it. Alignment just takes a minute since it's basically a universal fit
How many cycles before the velcro is worn out?
10000 cycles. We also sell the replacement Velcro strips if needed.
I've moved side rails out and in. Still won't latch. Just pops up when I take my hand off of it.
I called customer service and an automated message said to email them for assistance.
Hello Kevin, sorry to hear about your experience with our product. I've shared your message with our service team.
@@TYGERAUTO Thank you for responding, If I bring the rails any closer together they will be touching on both sides. If I push in the corner with both hands I can get it to latch, then push down the other corner. Is it possible over/under tightening the clamps can cause this type of issue?
Hello Kevin, with regards to under or over-tightening we highly suggest you email us at support@tygerauto.com so our experts can walk you through your concerns.
I just got mine, I know this is 6 months old but thats just how they are. they dont lock very well compared to an expensive cover
Looks like it's too narrow at the front of the bed rails. Doesn't look right.
Please email to our customer service team at Support@TygerAuto.com with some photos of the issues. We are always here to help!
Looks like someone could just rip up the Velcro off the side and get into the bed. How secure are these?
The T1 (soft-rollup) have a latch system at the tail end that can only be accessed if one can open the tailgate.
@@TYGERAUTO you didn’t address the question.. B40 asked can the sides attached with Velcro be pulled up even if the cover is attached at the tailgate? How easy is it to open it from the side where it’s Velcro down while the cover is locked?
@@toby7291 Thank you for the follow up. There is a lot of tension introduced to the tarp once it's fully rolled out and latched so it's not easy for someone to just lift it and gain access to the bed area. That said, if one's chief concern and priority in choosing a tonneau cover is security we would recommend opting for a hard cover instead.
@@TYGERAUTO thanks for your reply. I actually ordered one of these covers today. My main concern is keeping things dry. I also didn’t want to spend $1000 on a cover.
@@toby7291 Understood, make sure you apply weather seal strip in areas as needed to mitigate water sipping in.
I enjoyed my Tyger cover so much on my Tundra, that yesterday after picking up a new Tacoma, this was the first thing I ordered. Curious if I’ll like the roll up better than the tri-fold.
And the verdict is...? Which model are you preferring?? Thx
Nate C the roll up is better IMO. A bit cheaper too.
@@jonerikgreene1175 thanks..I ordered the tri fold though so hopefully I like it. I wanted something quick that I could remove entirely if need be. Seems like tri fold would serve quick removal better?
Nate C the tri fold is good too; benefit of accessing more of the bed quickly. I would say easier to remove the whole thing quicker, but the roll up never really needs full removal. Both are good upgrades. Tri fold seemed to seal better at the tailgate. You’ll be happy with it.
@@jonerikgreene1175 ah yes good point roll up can stay put. Thanks looking forward to it!
Just installed it on my Ram 1500 2017, is it possible that the tonneau covers ribs can be to narrow?
Hello Grant, thank you for reaching out. Assuming you have the correct product, it could be a matter of adjusting the fit. Therefore, if you haven't done so already, it's best that you contact us at www.tygerauto.com/technical-support.html so we can help you troubleshoot it.
@@TYGERAUTO I adjusted the main bar and it works like a dream, it's not water tight at the very end but that's ok with me
@@metalman286 Glad it worked out for you Grant. Let me know if the sealing foam tape helped with the seams.
@@TYGERAUTO it's water tight from the back side of the bed all the way to the tailgate. That works great with me
@@metalman286 Wonderful, thanks for the feedback.
This looks very cheap and I’m sure it’s well overpriced for new product. I’ll wait until the fix the kinks or see how long this type of cover stays in the market.
I ordered one for a long bed and only got 4 clamps
Don't worry! Just contact our service team at Support@tygerauto.com. They will arrange the missing parts for you FREE.
The cover is to tight, no matter what I do on my 2500 the cover locks but sticks up a good 1/4” across the tailgate exposing the unlocking latch
Hi Blake, thank you for reaching out. Have you try loosening the rear clamps firsts? Overtightening can cause the rails to pop up a bit and make it difficult for the latches to work. If that doesn't work please contact our service team at support@tygerauto.com to receive further assistance.
@@TYGERAUTO it was my rear locking block, it won’t tighten no matter what, sent a video over they warrantied the part and it should be fixed here soon. My rails however do stick over the bed some. It’s a ram 2500 and no matter what it required some sticking over. It’s fine for me and it’s tight so whatever I just saw in the instructions it said not to
@@blake20054 Thank you for the details. We hope the new part will work out for you.
Does anybody in here know If you can adjust the width of the bar that goes next to the back window?
The covers are custom made for each specific truck bed and the widths of all the cross bars are fixed.
I’m still struggling 🤦🏾♂️
