Today we're going to be taking a look at as well as installing the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. Part number 834532006380. Now we'll be installing the Access Lorado Tonneau Cover today on our Chevrolet pick-up truck. All the Access Lorado Tonneau Covers will install in a similar fashion even though they may have a different part number for your particular vehicle. Now let's go ahead and go over some of the features of our Access Tonneau Cover. As you can see here, has a drum type finish so it's nice and tight, it's not going to be flapping around in the wind as you're going down the road. Go ahead and open up our tailgate here.

Has a simple one latch release mechanism. Gently rock up and the rear of the Tonneau Cover will release. If I gently pull on the strap, it pulls each of the side buckles in and this little buckle here is what hooks underneath the edge of your side rail keeping it in place. Each of the side rails have a strip of hook and loop, half of it sewn in to the top of the Tonneau Cover. The other half is attached to each of the side rails, this is what helps keep the Tonneau Cover nice and tight on each of the sides. Now we'll go ahead and take our Tonneau Cover and we'll roll it up. You'll notice that there's these bars that are built into the Tonneau Cover that helps give its strength and rigidity, there's one here, there's one up here as well as one a little farther forward as well. With our Tonneau Cover raised up.

You'll see we have an adjustment knob right here as well as one over on the other side. Now over time, you may need to adjust these knobs as the Tonneau Cover ages or stretches out a little bit. As you turn them, I'll tighten up the tension on it or can loosen it if it's a little too tight. That way your Tonneau Cover will fit properly and nice and tight on your vehicle. See that we have a buckle here as well as over here. Now on the under side, we have a strap that comes around when it's rolled up, clips together, keeping the Tonneau Cover nice and tight.

It is adjustable so that you can adjust it to the setting you need to hold your Tonneau Cover nice and tight and you have it rolled up in this position. Now this Tonneau Cover has a low profile design where it sits only about one inch above the truck box when closed. It does have an aerodynamic design to the cover which helps reduce wind drag and improves gas mileage. This Tonneau Cover does come with a limited lifetime warranty. Now that we've gone over some of the features of our Access Lorado Soft Tonneau Cover. Now let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We're going to begin here by taking our driver side rail, the rail is marked.

You'll notice we have a hook and loop strip on the outside as well as a soft material already attached to our rail. This little hook or clamp piece back here, this is what marks that it is the rear of the rail. We'll go ahead and hold it up here into position. You want to make sure that the rail on the edge here is level with the top edge of the bed. Now you can either get an extra set of hands or you can get a set of spring clamps like this to hold your rail in place as you're getting things clamped down. We're just going to use a couple spring clamps here to help keep the rail on the proper position. Here's what the little clamp looks like that we use to attach our rail to the side of the bed. It'll either come with six clamps or eight clamps depending on your bed length. Go ahead and open up the clamp. You'll notice that there's little grooves built in through the under side of the rail here. This is what the teeth on this will grab into. Now for the first or the farthest forward, we want to come up as far forward as possible for it to allow you to still go underneath the edge of the bed and still catch the rail of the Tonneau Cover. With our clamp in position, go ahead and snug it down. Next we'll move to the middle of the rail, we'll add our second clamp in there. We'll put our third clamp as far back as it'll allow us to. In this truck you'll see how there's a stake pocket built in so we're going to have to skew it up to about right here, put this rear clamp right in this section here. Go ahead and tighten it down. Now this particular kit for this vehicle does come with a total of eight clamps here. We're going to go ahead and add the fourth clamp in between the second and the third clamps. Now that we have the driver side rail installed, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process over here on the passenger side. Next we're going to go ahead and take the alcohol wipe and clean this front rail of our bed. We'll then need to install this rubber seal. We'll go ahead and peel back the red backing here on our two-sided tape. We'll then need to align the seal with the edge here of our side rail and this edge here of the bed and peel back the tape as work the seal across the front of the bed. You will notice that our weatherstripping is a little bit too long so we're just going to measure out where we need to cut it, go ahead and take a razor knife and trim it down the length. Now with our weatherstripping cut to length, we can go ahead and finish the peeling off backing and push it down firmly in place. Next we're going to need to attach the adjusted to the slide nut here in the front rail of the Tonneau Cover. We're going to be using an inch and a quarter long bolt, the flat washer, so it's the longer of the two bolts that come with the kit. Go ahead and just put it on there hand tight for now. We'll go ahead then over to the passenger side, where we'll repeat the same process. Next we'll go ahead and take our Tonneau Cover, bring it up here to the front of the cap. We'll then need to fold the bar down at the top down making sure that these straps go inside, as well as these little flap here on the Tonneau Cover gets tucked underneath. Go ahead and skew it forward a little. Now that we have the front of the Tonneau Cover setup properly. Next we're going to need to attach these brackets here. Now we left this bold here loose earlier and that's so that when it slides back over, it goes underneath that side rail here. I'll bend this one out of the way so it goes like that. We'll also be lining up the hole that's in the plastic piece here with the hole on the top of the rail. Once we have the hole lined up, go ahead and take our shorter of the two bolts supplied with the kit. Put it in place, we'll then put a flat washer and a hex nut underneath. Now in our particular application, there's not much room for movement either way so we're pretty well centered with it just how it's sitting now. For some reason this bar would be more to one side or the other, you would want to adjust it at this time, making it be an equal distance from the end of the bar and the side rail on both sides. Once we've checked that, now we can go ahead and tighten down the hardware. Now that we have our hardware tightened down, now we're ready to roll out Tonneau Cover out. You'll notice as we're rolling it out, the bar drops into the track or into the rail I should say on each side. When you get to the very end just hook in. You can then go ahead and close our tailgate, we'll need to go along each of the sides and push down on the hook and loop to secure the sides of the Tonneau Cover. That'll do it for our quick look and installation of the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. Part number 834532006380. .
