My 2021 TRX came with a Mopar trifold vinyl cover that I immediately removed, but didn’t sell. It had been in storage for several years.
When my 2027 arrived, I figured I’d at least check if that old cover would fit. It DID seat on there correctly, and there’s 4 plastic clamps that latch it in place, and all 4 seemed to engage properly and appeared to be seated in the perfect spots. I did notice the cover appeared ever so slightly too small. It still covered the entire bed, but I figured it would just leak worse than usual in a car wash.
Soon as I got on the highway, I heard a loud noise, and it was that tonneau flying off the back. Looked like an inner tube flying away from a speed boat in my rear view.
Luckily it was like 5 in the morning, and no one was on the road behind me. The cover had been in like-new condition, and it wasn’t that the clamps were faulty, it was just barely too small, leaving enough of a gap that it was able to catch air and fly off.
My bed rails were bent in 4 spots, which were easily straightened with my palm and some effort. The plastic rail covers smoothed back out with a heat gun.
Just trying to save someone from committing the same error with this or a more expensive bed cover.
