Re: Tonneau cover

The two long cables in the first 3 pics are not OE. The little thin one is stock. It should be attached to the latch the releases the tonneau, and runs along large brace and pokes out from behind the speaker panel right by the striker. Thats the manual release incase the switch/solenoids arent working. The last pic is for the rear top release.

Re: Tonneau cover

Here are some pictures that show the cable and its length in case you need to make a new one. also some pictures from other members on the site that show how its routed.


its propped up on the latch stud in the picture but it lays under it so that its not in the way getting damaged.


it is fed inside the plastic loops to guide it
