@PentzWerks, you have my full gratitude and thanks for taking the time to do this video in such a complete and comprehensive way. Thank you for providing such a blessing to the Tacoma Community. 🙏
Hey brother , your video was the only one that explained about the brackets on the bed. Because your video I was able to get what I need it for the toyota dealer . Paid almost $300 just for the navy brackets . Thank you for the video , blessings!
Hello VTX Vick. You are welcome. I'm glad the video helped. There are too many videos on youtube that aren't detailed and actually show you what you need. I'm also glad the dealership sold you the new parts that you needed, some will not sell you factory option parts.
Asesores video very useful I almost bought a used cover but the guy doesn’t have all the braked I went to Toyota and each braked cost $35 whit no plastic covers thanks
Super-helpful video! I offered to sell mine, but now realize I can't access the pins and bed trim pieces (buried under my bed rack). Thanks for the great advice.
Fantastic video. Just bought a new Tacoma that didn't have the factory cover, but the dealership had a tear-off that someone else didn't want on theirs. Score for me. Thanks
Hello Raygun4. Please make sure you are able to collect all the necessary hardware and the cover itself. If you do not have the hardware you can not do the install. Thank you for commenting.
Thank you! I am so happy I found your video. Steady camera, descriptive instruction and the tools with size that you used. Fantastic. I feel confident removing mine.
Great walk-through! I’ll be sure to use these tips tomorrow when I help my roommate take off his OEM tonneau cover since he ordered a camper shell for his 2020.
Hello ClassicRocker 81. Thank you for commenting. I wanted to really show what it takes to remove the cover. I'm glad the video help you and will help you tomorrow.
Recently got a new truck. I still have my original Toyota tonneau cover from my old truck…Is there a DIY video on how to make the cut offs on the Tacoma bed caps?
I have an OEM tonneau on my 2017 TRD Off-road. After 5 years it’s already beginning to deteriorate and leak at fold-joints. If you want a bed cover, buy a fiberglass canopy.
Hello @@Tacomas_shop Everything fades and deteriorates after a certain amount of years. I would honestly go with a canopy, much more user friendly and it keeps your stuff dry.
Taking the OEM tonneau off my 2020 to install a bed rack...trying to figure out if i need to raise my bed accessory rail system...i know they offer bracket for relocated rails but all ive seen raise the rack height by 2.5"...plus i dont like that "floating" look...and not to mention the weight capacity geos down with the beackets...
VERY helpful! Thank you! Wondering if I can just order new bed rail covers when I take it off, and include the cut-out ones when I sell the tonneau cover.
Hello Joseph Lagunes. This is the exact reasons why I uploaded this video. Without those attachments, you can not mount the cover. Some dealerships wont sell the parts if it wasn't a factory option with your truck.
The Dealer WILL get you any parts..I just got 4 seal caps (seals at the folds) and 4 screws,they showed me all available parts and they offer every piece
Hello Scott Roddenberry. Please mention your local dealership because there have been others that have commented that say the parts aren't available at their local dealership. My local dealership only supplied me one part due to knowing one of the techs.
I had my cover removed when I bought a cap for my 2017 Tacoma. I'm selling it and a guy tried fitting it on his 2022 Tacoma and the panel of the cover (near the tailgate) hits the top rail of the bed so it's not flush. I noticed the front panel (near the back window) has an adjust for fit, is the rear panel of the cover adjustable also?
Please help, I need the part number for the striker covers and the bracket that the bolt mounts to. I did my best researching for it but can’t find the part number
Hello Chad Acker. There is nothing between the painted bed and metal brackets. If your truck did not come with the factory cover, then there will be a painted sticker covering the mounting holes.
I see in your comments that this is a factory option however I was quoted a price for the cover by dealer after buying the truck. My question is would I need to drill holes for the clamps and cut the side rails or would the kit include replacement parts?
Hello gghostrrider. The holes in the bed side are already drill and covered by a factory strip. I would suggest cut your original bed side top rails to save money; or you can sell them after you replace them. I'm not sure about the "kit" depends on what the dealership will do for you. You might have to purchase everything individual. I'm not a dealership so I do not know how they would price this kit or individual parts. Just the single bolt that bolts down the cover on the passenger side was $20 from the dealership when I purchased a replacement.
Putting on a diamondback this week. I Haven’t sold my OEM one yet. Do you think it’s alright for the diamondback to go on the bed caps with the cut outs?
Great video! Had a question at 3:15 the “trim pieces” do I need those? I bought a used cover same brand but I just don’t have the trim pieces is that necessary to have? Is that what makes the cover waterproof?
Hello Nick Lopez. The trim piece is the bed side rail top "made of plastic," its show at 3:06. You do need the rail tops but it'd be very nice to have. It is the part that touches the seals on the tonneau cover and make it waterproof from the sides. Let me know if you have any other questions.
We have bought this cover for our Tacoma directly if the Toyota dealer has come without a manual to install and without a single screw only the solid covers and nothing else .. I wonder the parts for installation are purchased separately?
Hello Fany Gomez. If you bought the factory cover from a Toyota dealership it would have come with all the hardware. From my understanding, it's a factory only option. Meaning it comes with the truck when purchased new, it's not an aftermarket option.
Bought the cover but I don’t have the bracket or strikers that I need .... :( where can I buy all the other pieces ? I literally only have the cover and that main screw. Do I have any hope of getting it on ?
Hello Tyler Santos. The best thing for you to do is contact your local Toyota dealership and explain the situation. I would phrase it as something stole all the hardware of your truck; as they will not simple sell you the hardware parts. Make sure you look at the end of the video that shows you everything you need. At the bare minimum you will need the metal brackets; you can buy the bolts separately. And then you also need the middle alignment, then you can cut your plastic rail tops. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello Dave Pawlishen. Yes i did not show the two rubber seals as my truck did not come with the seals from the factory for some reason. I purchased new seals for the new owner of the cover; thank you for pointing that out.
Hi Pentz as you were removing the top trim on each side I was wondering if you notice that you have a rubber piece on the cab side to keep water out. I was paying attention to both sides and there were none. Just wondering.
Hello RayDanPlayz and Vlogs. There are normally two rub pieces but I did show the removal of them. They are small and fit between the bed side rails and the rear bed top. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hello Andrew Quinlan. The bracket covers are not essential but can be ordered from your local dealership. I made this video to help people understand what they needed in order to install the cover. You always want to make sure you have all the components.
Question is the truck doesn’t come with the cover and I want to install oem one do I need to make holes on my bed or the truck already comes with the holes.
Hello Truko 503. My truck did not come stock with a cover. There is tape covering the attachment holes. Remove the tape that is painted over and you'll see the holes. Make sure you get all the hardware and the side rails.
Hello Arms and Fun. All Toyota Tacoma have predrilled holes for the mounting brackets. They’ll be located under painted tap in the side rails of the truck.
So this is you uninstalling it, do you by chance have the video of u installing it? I need to know where I need to cut the plastic to install the 6-7 brackets or whatever it is..
Hello Dripy. The tonneau cover has been sold for a year. I can not create an installation video but you can reverse the steps shown to install it. If you need parts for the cover, you can contact your local dealership.
@@pentzwerks understandable, my only question is do I need to notch out the rails with a knife or something? Where the brackets screw in on the sides of the walls of the bed..how did you cut those squares out of the of plastic? Or do they sell those precut like that?
@@dripy9159 The spots that need to be cut are pre-marked on the underside of the bed rail cap. I used a an OLFA knife to cut them, be careful and take your time. Make sure you're using a fresh blade. Keep scoring the plastic till you make it through and keep going along. Use a round file to smooth out the inner corners, that's all there is to it. Some people have used a dremmel to cut the notches, but I prefer the knife method. Takes a lot longer, but you'll get a way cleaner looking cutout. You can buy these pre-cut, but they're a fortune. Not worth it, when you can easily do it yourself.
Hello Tines_with_trav. I do not have a link to the through bolt. You will need to purchase it directly from the dealership or find the measurements of the bracket and get the proper length.
Hello @@Tacomas_shop Yes the small diameter bolts for the brackets are all the same. If you have one then you'll need to buy that exact same one for the other hardware mounts.
Hello @@jeremyboylan2947 Follow the steps in the beginning of the video when i'm taking off the tonneau cover. You'll just need to remove 1 bolt then you can remove it completely.
Hello Souk Philavanh. The factory Toyota Tonneau cover can only be ordered from the factory when you order a new truck. I suggest getting it second hand of Craigslist or eBay, roughly cost you $400-$500 second hand. From the factory it’ll cost you $800-$900.
Hello Aldwin Balasta. I would suggest contacting your local Toyota dealership and asking them for replacements. Hopefully they are able to give you sizes and lengths of all the bolts; or provide you with them.
Hello @@aldwinbalasta6594 Since I've already sold my cover; I do not have the dimensions of the bolts. I would recommend calling all Toyota dealership around you and see if one service department will help you.
Hello @@jessicastallworth2403 I would highly recommend called your local dealership and see if they can help you. All the parts will have to be ordered individually. I suggest you screen the last part of the video where I show all the hardware. Count the volts and brackets.
Hello pazitos76 You might be able to convince your local Toyota dealership to sell you the parts kit. It will be expensive, so be prepared to pay a high mark up. I sold my cover last week for $550, so as long as you can get the parts for under $200 you’re still saving money. Best of luck. Please screen shot the parts at the end of the video so you know what you need.
The Pentz Project yes I already did take a picture of what do I need but also I have to do some modifications since my tacoma is a 2009 and the rail system is different and yes if I can get the parts under $200 still is a good deal thank you for the video it will help me a lot
The Pentz Project I know it may be a pain but will you be willing to measure how far away are the holes to install the pins? like I say my tacoma is a 2009 so I have to drill the holes to put the strikers but I would like to know where to drill if you can’t. I will understand thank you in advance
Hello Silas Castellanos It’s a factory only option, so you have to order your truck from Toyota with the package included. Or you can buy it second hand.
Hello Gustavo Guerrero It’s a factory only option, so you have to order your truck from Toyota with the package included. Or you can buy it second hand.
These covers were made by a company for Toyota called ASC, american sunroof company. Which later became american specialty cars. They made the factory oem tonneau covers for Toyota but the company went out of business in 2017 or 2018. Not sure which company is now making the oem tonneau covers for Toyota
Hello Dodger Nation. If you read a few of the comments below, you'll read about 50/50 of the comments have troubles with replacing the hardware. I'll forward them to Elmore Toyota in California. Thank you for commenting.
Hello Da_Ozman. I would suggest visiting your local dealership and getting the spare parts. If they don't sell them to you, got to an hardware store for the bolts but the brackets will need to be purchased from Toyota.

I have an OEM tonneau on my 2017 TRD Off-road. After 5 years it’s already beginning to deteriorate and leak at fold-joints. If you want a bed cover, buy a fiberglass canopy.

You would think that since this is OEM Toyota, it should just be plug and play with thr cutouts on the plastic already there.

No you do not. Toyota covers the pre-drilled holes with tape that has been painted the color of your truck.
Excellent video! Been very helpful. Did the metal brackets have anything between them and the painted surface?
Hello Chad Acker.
There is nothing between the painted bed and metal brackets. If your truck did not come with the factory cover, then there will be a painted sticker covering the mounting holes.
They are available at Toyoda dealer but very expensive.

Hello Truko 503.
My truck did not come stock with a cover. There is tape covering the attachment holes. Remove the tape that is painted over and you'll see the holes. Make sure you get all the hardware and the side rails.
@@pentzwerks thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Hello James Pikoulas.
You are very welcome.
hi if i buy one of this i wander if the truck the i ma installing it has the hols to screw the brackets ?
Hello Arms and Fun.
All Toyota Tacoma have predrilled holes for the mounting brackets. They’ll be located under painted tap in the side rails of the truck.
Where I can found those parts ???
I bought the same cover earlier today and No hardware at all, I thought I had a good deal.
Hello Joe Biden's Shotgun.
Best bet is to visit your local dealership and see if they can help you.
So this is you uninstalling it, do you by chance have the video of u installing it? I need to know where I need to cut the plastic to install the 6-7 brackets or whatever it is..
Hello Dripy.
The tonneau cover has been sold for a year. I can not create an installation video but you can reverse the steps shown to install it. If you need parts for the cover, you can contact your local dealership.
@@pentzwerks understandable, my only question is do I need to notch out the rails with a knife or something? Where the brackets screw in on the sides of the walls of the bed..how did you cut those squares out of the of plastic? Or do they sell those precut like that?
@@dripy9159 The spots that need to be cut are pre-marked on the underside of the bed rail cap. I used a an OLFA knife to cut them, be careful and take your time. Make sure you're using a fresh blade. Keep scoring the plastic till you make it through and keep going along. Use a round file to smooth out the inner corners, that's all there is to it. Some people have used a dremmel to cut the notches, but I prefer the knife method. Takes a lot longer, but you'll get a way cleaner looking cutout. You can buy these pre-cut, but they're a fortune. Not worth it, when you can easily do it yourself.
Do you have the link for the "through bolt"? Where it can be purchased for $20? I bought a used cover and it came with all the hardware but that bolt.
Hello Tines_with_trav.
I do not have a link to the through bolt. You will need to purchase it directly from the dealership or find the measurements of the bracket and get the proper length.
@@pentzwerks are the little bolts all the same ?
Hello @@Tacomas_shop
Yes the small diameter bolts for the brackets are all the same. If you have one then you'll need to buy that exact same one for the other hardware mounts.
@@pentzwerks Oo ok thx cuz I saw the ones for the pins they are lil more bigger
Would it fit a 2011 tacoma
No it will not, it's only meant for 3rd generation Tacomas.
Drilling is required for those trim pieces?
John Paz.
No drilling is required for the trim pieces. Everything should be pre-drilled from the factory.
Can I just leave the hardware/trim on after removing the tonneau cover?
Hello Jeremy Boylan.
Yes you can just remove the tonneau cover and leave everything else on.
@@pentzwerks Excellent - I'm not the most handy and the rest of the hardware would have been a nightmare!
Hello @@jeremyboylan2947
Follow the steps in the beginning of the video when i'm taking off the tonneau cover. You'll just need to remove 1 bolt then you can remove it completely.
Where did you order this factory Toyota tonneau cover??
Hello Souk Philavanh.
The factory Toyota Tonneau cover can only be ordered from the factory when you order a new truck. I suggest getting it second hand of Craigslist or eBay, roughly cost you $400-$500 second hand. From the factory it’ll cost you $800-$900.
Hi there i just wanna ask where can i find all the bolts that i need to install the cover ?
Hello Aldwin Balasta.
I would suggest contacting your local Toyota dealership and asking them for replacements. Hopefully they are able to give you sizes and lengths of all the bolts; or provide you with them.
@@pentzwerks i went to toyota dealership and they said they don’t have it . Do you have any idea where can i get this bolt ?
Hello @@aldwinbalasta6594
Since I've already sold my cover; I do not have the dimensions of the bolts. I would recommend calling all Toyota dealership around you and see if one service department will help you.
@@pentzwerks Hello, were you ever able to find the hardware needed ? I bought a used tacoma oem cover and i only got the main side bolt, nothing else.
Hello @@jessicastallworth2403
I would highly recommend called your local dealership and see if they can help you. All the parts will have to be ordered individually. I suggest you screen the last part of the video where I show all the hardware. Count the volts and brackets.
yep
Hello
Thank you for commenting.
Anyone know where I can get the bolts for this cover?
Hello Dan Kim.
Go to your local Toyota Dealership.
I got the cover for $100 but it didn’t come with the pins or any of the hardware 🤦🏻♂️
Hello pazitos76
You might be able to convince your local Toyota dealership to sell you the parts kit. It will be expensive, so be prepared to pay a high mark up. I sold my cover last week for $550, so as long as you can get the parts for under $200 you’re still saving money. Best of luck. Please screen shot the parts at the end of the video so you know what you need.
The Pentz Project yes I already did take a picture of what do I need but also I have to do some modifications since my tacoma is a 2009 and the rail system is different and yes if I can get the parts under $200 still is a good deal thank you for the video it will help me a lot
The Pentz Project I know it may be a pain but will you be willing to measure how far away are the holes to install the pins? like I say my tacoma is a 2009 so I have to drill the holes to put the strikers but I would like to know where to drill if you can’t. I will understand thank you in advance
i have one for sale
Where i can buy one like this?
HONDURAS!! SAME HERE :)
Hello Silas Castellanos
It’s a factory only option, so you have to order your truck from Toyota with the package included. Or you can buy it second hand.

I don’t understand why Toyota doesn’t sell this through the dealer after you buy Tacoma. Sucks. I tried
These covers were made by a company for Toyota called ASC, american sunroof company. Which later became american specialty cars. They made the factory oem tonneau covers for Toyota but the company went out of business in 2017 or 2018. Not sure which company is now making the oem tonneau covers for Toyota
I bought all the hardware for 130 dollars.....wasn't that bad...Elmore toyota in westminister ca online price...
Hello Dodger Nation.
If you read a few of the comments below, you'll read about 50/50 of the comments have troubles with replacing the hardware. I'll forward them to Elmore Toyota in California. Thank you for commenting.
Everything has to be purchased individually free shipping
@@dodgernation4551 do you have the parts numbers by any chance?
Will these fit on a 2021?
Hello Zach_417.
Yes, this is will fit any 3rd gen (2016-2021).
Do you still have this cover?
Hello Hans.
Sold the cover 3 days after posting it.
i do have one
How much and will you ship to NJ?
@@alecmya unless you are in NJ then I’ll pickup
OK and do you want to sell it
Hello Gordo Tijerina.
Cover has been sold locally, I suggest looking at your local craigslist or ebay to find a factory cover.
Is this avalable I’ll buy it from you!
Hello Nabeel Ashaia.
The cover has already been sold. I would look on your local craigslist for one. Best of luck.
I have a question about the cover.. do you know if there’s anyway to fix if it’s damaged and cracked and it seems to spread
i do have one for sale
Are you selling this one? I’ll buy it from you!
$800
Hello Gustavo Guerrero.
I'm selling it locally in Seattle, WA for $500 cash. Let me know if you are interested.
Hello @@Mark-vw4ly
It's for sale in the Seattle area for $500, $535 if you'd like it installed on your truck.
@@pentzwerks I have one on mine. 500 is a good deal
Hello Mike Graveman
I thought $500 would be a fair deal. It’s definitely worth it, I would keep it if I wasn’t upgrading to a new vehicle.
Want to sell me all the hardware you took off?
Hello Da_Ozman.
I would suggest visiting your local dealership and getting the spare parts. If they don't sell them to you, got to an hardware store for the bolts but the brackets will need to be purchased from Toyota.
Sick bro! Thanks Yo!
How did you cut the plastics to put the hardware?
