Replacement Velcro Recommendation for 2005 Silverado ext cab 6.5 Bed with Truxedo Original Tonneau

Question

Question:

I believe I have what is called the Truxedo Original Tonneau cover. This came on the truck when I bought it used. Is TX1115174 the direct replacement for the velcro hook strips in the rails? Just for reference, these rails hold the velcro hook strip in a vertical position so thats why I think its the Original. Thanks for you help again. I love eTrailer.com

Typically its the loop section of a Velcro strip that wears out before the hook side as the hooks are made of a harder material. The part #TX1115174 that you referenced comes with both sides though.
