If you have an access tonneau cover, then you know how great they are for protecting your truck bed and keeping your belongings dry and secure. But over time, the Velcro strips that hold the cover in place can become worn out or damaged, making it difficult to keep the cover tight and secure. Luckily, changing the Velcro on your access tonneau cover is a quick and easy process that anyone can do.
First, you'll need to remove the old Velcro strips from the cover. Use a utility knife or scissors to carefully cut through the adhesive backing of each strip. Once all of the old strips are removed, clean off any leftover adhesive from both the cover and the truck bed with a rag soaked in rubbing alcohol.
Next, measure and cut new Velcro strips to fit in their place. Adhesive-backed Velcro is available at most hardware stores - just be sure to get strips that are wide enough to fully coverage the width of the Tonneau cover panels. Once your new strips are cut to size, peel off the backing paper and stick them into place on both the truck bed liner and Tonneau cover panel edges. Press firmly on each strip to ensure good contact between the adhesive and surface below.
Finally, reattach your access Tonneau cover following manufacturer's instructions - typically this just involves snapping it back into place on top of your truck bed rails. That's it! With fresh new Velcro holding everything securely in place, you can rest assured that your belongings will stay put no matter where you go.
