Any idea if the tonneau cover can go through an automatic car wash? I don't see anything in the manual or online. Thanks!

I have had my LE for over two months now and every time I wash it we get monsoon rain. I have never washed a vehicle more than this one.

No problem with the automatic car washes! I have been through at least 10 and no issues.
Awesome, thanks! I've had my truck washed twice and both times I removed the cover. It's obviously not hard to do, but suck when it's 100 degrees outside like today in Dallas.

The first time I washed mine, I took the cover off. It had rained before the dealer installed it, and I wanted the bed cleaned out. Since then, the dealer has washed it, and I washed it again yesterday. No problems with the cover on.

Did some searching since I was wondering the same thing about mine and came across this post (soft roll-up tonneau cover). Are you guys talking about the drive-in car washes with the roller brushes or the touch-less car washes?

I had a truxedo roll up on my last truck for 5 years and many many automatic washes with and without brushes and spinny things. It was all good. I’ve gone through both with my Tyger soft trifold on my Gladiator with no issue. I never gave it a thought. Best of luck!

I have had trucks for the last 15 years and ran a tonneau on each one. I have never had a problem. The twill factory one seems even more durable than the vinyl, which all of mine were made of.

I always use the no-touch wash. I have the Mopar soft tri-fold cover. It has held up well, and keeps the bed dry.

Installed my Access LiteRider soft roll up the other night and immediately ran to the car wash to see how it would hold up and/or leak. No issues other than a few drops up by the cab. ??
