You're a great teacher, Fred. I feel I can install mine with confidence now. Of course, I have to order it first!
Thank you, you will do a great job. If you run into any issues please let me know. I have had none on for 15 months in this Florida heat and it’s been great.
Thank you for your time and experience. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the comment, have a great day.
I cannot recommend this video more. Excellent tutorial. I bought this tonneau cover and installed it in 30 minutes as per this video! Excellent!
Thanks, glade it help. Have a great day.
Thanks for updating the link. I was leaning towards this one. I will use your link for the purchase. Thanks for your videos. Looking forward to more maverick content next year.
Thank you, you have a great and safe new year.
You are a godsend!!! I have a Maverick and got this exact bed cover (first time truck owner and not so knowledgeable handywoman but trying!) I had such a difficult time because the instructions were unclear with how to place the side rails in and I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I happened upon this video and fixed it in minutes!
I’m so glad the video helped. Check back for a whole bunch more in any questions just leaving the comments and I’ll try to help you with the answer.
I just installed my tonneau cover, following your instructions. It went on like a champ! Thanks! I love it!
I’m so happy that it worked out for you. Please subscribe I going to have some more videos coming when the temp gets cooler. Also if you have any upgrade ideas let me know and I can make a video. Have a great day.
Thank you for your quick and honest information. I look forward to your next reply regarding the rail. I want to have as much flexibility with this truck as possible, but I don’t want to have to take things on and off repeatedly in order to use the items.
Thanks again,
Fred Wilson
Ok, the bottom of the clamp is 1/4 inch above where the indentation starts. So I would assume that the rail sits 1/2 below that. So once installed you should never need to remove. I only remove mine to make other products videos or I would never remove it. One last thing, the cover has been on for a year and has held up perfectly.
This video is really good. First truck, me and my son were following along 😊
Thanks, I’m glad it helped. I have much more to come. You have a great day.
I did this! I followed your instructions and it went on perfectly! I love it, it looks amazing! Thank you!
I glad it helped, let me know if there’s anything else that I can make a video on.
Thank you I just installed the tip top roll up it came exactly like yours same hardware this helped me so much. Ps my instructions were in the clamp box lol
Your welcome, I’m glad I could help. I have much more coming. You have a great day.
Excellent video. Thank you
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helped. Have a great day.
Just got my 2023 Maverick XL Hybrid. I was looking for a tonneau cover and I wanted a roll up (my chev colorado had one for 15 years no issue)Your video showed how to take care of potential leaks showed metal parts used and well made tensioner when closing the tonneau cover. I cannot thank you enough for this very informative video.
Thank you, I’m glad I could help. The gasket maker has been on the Maverick now for 6 months in this rainy Florida. It also made it through a hurricane with no leaks. I’m very happy with the cover’s quality. If you have any maverick questions just comment, if I know I’ll try to help. Have a great day.
PS. New video posted today on tailgate camera, it something I just found out and am sharing.

That’s great, I’d like to add the leather seats some day. I’m sure it will look great when your done. Good luck with the install.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching. Have a great day
This all makes sense as long as the weather stays warm. Once the cold weather hits the tonneau cover and it shrinks, then you will appreciate a tri-fold cover that maintains its original dimensions.
I liked my trifold on my Tacoma, I had the longer bed. I’ll tell you a sad story about it. I was only held down with the 4 clamps that came with it. I was driving on the highway and I heard this noise. The trifold blew off. I saw it in my rear view mirror, it flew in the air and sail over the side of the bridge I was on, into the woods. Thank god there wasn’t anyone behind me. If I ever get another one I am tying the cab side of the cover to the bed cleats. Have a great day.
Good ideas bro
Thanks
Love your videos, Fred! My XLT Hybrid is scheduled to go into production the first week in April, so I'm trying to get lots of ideas about the various products that I want to try out. Keep up the awesome videos.
Thanks, congratulations. You are going to love the Maverick. I haven’t had any issues. I’ve been averaging 46 MPGs any questions please ask. Have a great day
@@fredsgarage1925It's been almost a year since you shared this video. How is the Tonneau cover holding up? And would you buy it again, or do you have any other recommendations for other covers? Thanks again, Fred.
It’s been great, I would definitely by it again. I live in Florida, and the truck is outside. The sun eats up cheap fabric/vinyl this cover looks like it a month old. I don’t know about snow load. Also I definitely know I do not want a trifold with a small bed. last thing, remember, this is a $200 great quality cover, it’s not a $1000 cover. You can’t go wrong. I just posted a video yesterday on my broken rear window, you can see the cover pretty good in that video. Good luck in your choice.
@@fredsgarage1925Thanks for the prompt reply, Fred. I live in the DFW area, so snow is typically not an issue. After reading your updated private review, I moved this cover to the top of my list. I'll check out your latest video. Cheers
This was great info. Thank you !
Thanks, I’m glade I could help
New subscriber here!! This is great info!!
Thanks glad I could help. Have a great day.
Okay : ) nice job!
Thank you, I glad the video could help.
Excellent video
Thank you, have a great day.
Well done Fred
Thanks
this is so helpful, thank you so much. How has it held up with the rain now?
You’re welcome, I have not had any water in the bed. I live in Florida and when it rains it pours and no water in the bed. I do not go to car wash, I wash it at home so I don’t know how it would hold up there. The most important thing is having a good gasket on the cover and sealing those 2 areas I show on the video. Hey have a great day.
I might be giving this one a try when my Maverick comes in. I'm not too worried about water penetration, more to keep debris out from trees over my driveway. I like the Bed Rug too, thinking of doing the same as I already had one an know how they hold up to being wet, dirty, or in the weather.
Update: My Maverick came in and I opted for a Tonno Pro soft roll-up. Simple install, looks good, and sits a bit lower than the traditional tri-folds(not by much). Also did my Bed Rug, too.
I have had the cover for about a month and love it. I took the Maverick for a 300 mile round trip and the cover did great on the highway. Good luck.
@fredsgarage1925
Hi Fred: Just installed this bed cover per your video yesterday. Your video made installation so easy. In my case, I have a Factory Spray in Bedliner and the spray goes under the lip where the clamps engage making the clamp bolts too short. I had to get 1/8" longer countersunk Allen head screws. Other than that the installation was easy.
I do have a question: the soft cover material is stretched tight when closed. However, when I get above 40 MPH the material starts to bounce and I am worried that it will eventually wear out. Believe me, it is stretched tight when closed. Is this normal?
Looks like cheap vinyl
@@frankkeel8410 I bought the Tonno Pro soft roll-up. It's the second Tonno Pro I've bought, had one on my GMC years ago and it held up great. Coworker also bought a Tonno Pro tri-fold and was more than happy with it. For the cost, with free shipping, I couldn't have bought the one offered from Ford any cheaper, even with my employee discount.
@@frankkeel8410
It is. Who cares!
Great video, but I have a couple of questions. I have a 2024 Hybrid Lariat. 1- Do I need to remove my rail system with the tie down cleats? 2- How water tight is it? Could I haul luggage under it across country with no fear of getting wet?
Thanks again for the video.
Hello, I do not have the rail system so it hard for me to judge, and when I go look at the truck later today I will look to see how much space is between the bottom of the clamp to the recessed area for the rail and add another reply. But what you can do is always put the clamps together by the tailgate and then slide them forwards into position if the rails thickness prevents the clamp bottom from being attach with the rail. Make sure you add a dab of ( antisieze ) I take it off a lot to show other projects and it’s a aluminum bracket with a stainless steel bolt, I live where there is a lot of salt air. Watertight. You must add the silicone as shown, I live in Florida. We have had 2 hurricanes and it sometimes rains worse that a car wash and I have had no water in the bed. Now nothing is 💯 waterproof, but I have gone in several hour trips with my luggage in the bed and have never worried about it getting wet. For the money it’s a great cover.
That was a brilliant and entertaining review!. After looking at reviews all day long that various issues, you actually problem solve .. eg the water issues with the maverick bed. One question .. in a few days and after the cover stretches/flattens out, is it still necessary to "clean up" the seams each time you roll the cover back into place? ( my wife likes things tidy, her nick name is Mrs. Clean)
Hello, which seams are you referring to? The ones with the silicone or the Velcro ones. I’ve had that cover in and it’s still nice and tight. Thanks for the comment.
I went with a tri-fold (for my Jeep Gladiator), mostly because it gives me a bit more security, and I didn't want to pay any more than $1K for a "decent" hard-cover. In the future though, MAY go for one of the top-dog (and likewise WAY more expensive) bed-covers: Renegade. It's clearly more secure/harder to break into than my tri-fold. Between the 2 (TMK) top-dog "serious" bed-covers -- Diamond Back & Renegade -- I like the Renegade better...even though I'll probably NEVER need to carry 2000lbs on top of it!
-- BR
Yes the trifold is much more sturdier. PS I love the Gladiator, great truck. Have a great day.
Fred love ur videos!! And I will subscribe. Will this cover work on a truck with a utility rail system … like a DIY one? Looks like there is enough clearance? Thanks!
Hey thanks, I’m not sure what you mean by “ utility rail system? If it’s something like in this video then it won’t. Unfortunately to have a rack like the one in the video you need a cover that has a J-track. th-cam.com/video/4BWVPB3BIrQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=M2AghSmSL1d2iHPe. Let me know
This is a DIY rail system that I put in .
Hwre in this video : not the factory installed one but the one using unistrut …
th-cam.com/video/d_GjchFyt50/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iRc8vOs7XtqSMQM8
Ok now I know what you mean. Yes the bed cover should fit no problem. The clamps hug the top rail and shouldn’t hit the rail. Let me know how you make out.
Nice video. Appreciate your content! I will be ordering a 2024 Maverick tomorrow!
I see you have some kind of bed and tailgate mat installed. Did you post a video on that? I didn't see one. I'd like to learn more about that from you. Thank you!
I purchased this, it was for a Ram, it was only $60 and I cut it to fit. I’m cheep what can I say. Have a great day.

Hi Fred. Great content, and thanks for your efforts. I recently subscribed. Question? I am considering a roll-up for my Maverick and saw the one you were installing, which I seem to like. There's another one by MaxMate for about $20.00 more, but I like it because if offers Free Returns, in case I don't like it for any reason right at first install. Ex fit/finish/hardware design etc? I'd like to get your opinion if you noticed it and felt there was a significant difference from the one you ordered?
Sorry about the late reply, I was at Disney and got behind. Mine is $10 bucks cheaper since I ordered it. The one I ordered is great quality., and has aluminum clamps. The trifold I had on my Tacoma had plastic hinges and clips. I had it for t years and it blew off the bed on the highway one day because on of the plastic clamps broke. Good luck I’m sure you pick the correct one.
@@fredsgarage1925 thanks Fred for the reply
I appreciate all the information you provide. Just finished watching your steering wheel leather wrap. Nice job.
A quick question? When you roll up your rol- up tonneau cover, how close can you roll it up toght to the cab, if you take your time?
I put equipment all the way back in my bed and press up my equipment to the very back wall against the cab. I'm hoping that the roll-up that you have will get real tight if I take my time and cinch it up. Thanks ahead of time. I look forward to your reply 🙂
If I get a spray in bedliner would this prevent installation of the soft covers?
Nope, it would not make any difference, the spray in would only go to the bottom of bedsides. The plastic cap would be the same and the clamps would work the same. Hey, have a great day
Hi, I liked your video on the Maverick bed cover. I followed your instructions, but one corner by the tailgate sits up a little higher than the other. I noticed a number grid by the locking channel. Is this how I adjust this?
Yes, if it is rising up on a corner it’s usually too tight. So try your loosen that side a little to have it sit lower like the other side. Let me know how you made out. Thanks
www.tygerauto.com/mm5/graphics/instructions/T1-tyger-NEW.PDF here is some directions on how to tighten and loosen the cover only go 1 line at a time.
Thank you
You're welcome
Is there a way of adjusting the tension so when I am driving it does not make noise???
Yes, you can adjust the blocks on the ends of the rails. where the cover slides into the rails. Near the tailgate, there 2 Allen bolt screws. Loosen them and slide them out. Mine are equal with the ends of the rails. Mine is very tight. Let me know how you make out.
How do you remove the roll-up tonneau cover to run 2023 Ford Maverick through an automatic car wash?
If you’re worried about the car wash damaging the tonneau, then I would just roll it out p before going through. But I think it would hold up just fine.
Ok fred i went back and review again. even though the guy reviewed under the reviews for roll up cover for maverick. the reviews include all covers that they sell under the maverick truck, the reviewers was for a trifold. so disregard the evaluation below.. thanks again. i too live in florida, pompano, fl
This is the best time to live in Florida, I don’t know how the weather is in Pompano, but up here in Tampa I woke up to 67 degrees and it’s currently 75. The weather is the best. Have a great days .
Who makes the roll up bed cover ? Great video. Looking for cover for my 2022 F350 . Thanks
Thanks, here is the cover I used. It’s been a few months and it’s been great for the money.

I'm thinking about getting one but I'm wondering how it would hold up to ice and snow.
Well it’s hard for me to say about the snow and ice since I live in Florida. But I can tell you this, I have installed a roll up and a trifold and I personally think the roll up is sturdier for 2 reasons. 1 the unsupported space seems to be smaller in the roll up than the trifold. 2 if their is to much weight in it roll up the Velcro will let go before the cover rips. Now I’m talking about inexpensive covers you can pay a lot more and get a roll up with a lot of bars that is much stronger or a solid one. Like this one.

Great video. I really like the mat you have in the bed. Where did you get it?
Hello, Amazon. I actually search bed mat and the Maverick one was $160 so I went into the filter and their was a Dodge ram one for $50 so I purchased that and cut it with a razor knife. Good luck
Fred, did you use the weather strip that goes behind the window?
No, on mine it has a large built in weather strip built in to the cover, Also since the sides and cross strip behind the rear window are basically the same height. I did silicone the joint like in the video. So you don’t need it. It really only to fill in if there is a difference in height in the cross rail is lower. I have had no leaks. I don’t use a car wash so don’t know about that.
Thank you for the fast response and the great video!@@fredsgarage1925
Mine has the built in weatherstrip also, so I took your advice and did not use the additional. Thanks again, it looks great on my Maverick. @@fredsgarage1925
Your link takes me to a trifold? I can’t find a soft tonneau from that company.
Let me look it up, which video did you watch? The soft fold or the trifold video, there are 2 videos.
I just checked the he video and the link. They have my cover as currently not available. I’ll have to look for another quality roll up one. I had the tyger one in my Tacoma and it was still in good shape when I returned the Tacoma. It was a lease. Thank for letting me know. I’ll have to check all the links now.
amzn.to/488hGAo I would check this one it looks very similar
@@fredsgarage1925 yes the soft tonneau cover.
@@fredsgarage1925 just ordered it. Arrives Jan 4th
After 4 months are you still happy with the tonneau cover?
Yes, I have no complaints about it. It’s help up good to this crazy Florida heat and after 2 long highway trips it’s on nice and tight.
I always planned on the trifold but you sold me
Look at my hart with the palm trees in the back of the Maverick. I could of never fit them in the bed with a trifold. Good luck
@@fredsgarage1925 yah you definitely have a point. Cheers🤙
