Maintenance tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the tonneau cover with mild soap and water using a soft sponge or cloth. This will help remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the surface.

• Lubricate the Tracks: Every 2-3 months, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the retracting tracks to maintain smooth operation. Avoid grease or oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and dirt.

• Inspect for Obstructions: Regularly check the tracks for debris like dirt, leaves, or twigs. Clean the tracks with compressed air or a soft brush to ensure the retracting mechanism operates smoothly without interference.

• Check the Weather Seals: Inspect the weather seals for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the seals with a damp cloth and replace any damaged seals promptly to maintain a watertight seal and protect the cargo area.

• Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the cover or place excessive weight on it. Follow the manufacturer’s weight recommendations to prevent stress on the cover and its components.

• Protect from Harsh Weather: If possible, park your RAM 1500 in a covered area during extreme weather like hail or heavy snow to protect the tonneau cover. Remove accumulated snow or ice gently with a soft brush to avoid damage.

• Tighten Hardware: Periodically check the fasteners, clamps, and other mounting hardware to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose components to prevent rattling or shifting during use.

• Test the Operation: Open and close the cover periodically to keep the mechanism in good working order. This also prevents the mechanism from becoming stiff due to lack of use.

• Avoid High-Pressure Washers: Do not use high-pressure washers on the tonneau cover, as the force can damage the material or sealant. Use a hose with moderate water pressure instead.

• Inspect for Wear and Tear: Periodically inspect the cover for any signs of damage, such as scratches, cracks, or misalignment of parts. Address any issues as soon as they arise to prevent further damage.

• Store Properly When Not in Use: If you remove the cover for an extended period, store it in a dry, clean area away from direct sunlight or harsh environmental conditions.

• Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions: Refer to the user manual for specific maintenance guidelines and recommended care to ensure long-term durability and optimal performance.
