Mopar roll up tonneau troubles

[Thomasjbrothersjr]

I bought a mopar roll up tonneau cover today. It was a take off. Directions and videos are excellent, problem is the large front bolts do not thread into the available hole. The hole is too large or it is missing the threaded insert. Anyone else run into this?

Yes. I also got a takeoff and ended up using a nut with the help of some painters tape to not lose many of them between the bed and body.

Here is a link to the Rivnut you can use if you want to go that route: Mopar 06104885AA Trail Rail Rivnut for 20-21 Jeep Gladiator JT | Quadratec

How do you seat the front side rubber edge In the bed or over? I’m talking about the side that is against the back window Thanks in advance

Everyone doing stuff in the bed that has a spray on liner either outsourced or factory. Grab a set of these and it'll make life so much easier. This may of been posted elsewhere but it helps out right here too.

I believe 2020 and 2021 have different mounting locations in both the front and rear mounts. I installed a Mopar roll up cover on my 2020 Overland. It didn't have pre-installed rivnuts. My cover uses the lower hole in the front with M6, 2021 uses Upper hole with M8. See this thread for confirmation of this.....Mopar Roll Up Tonneau & Rails Conflict!

Rather than spending big $ for 2 rivenuts, I asked the dealer for an M6 nut with a washer attached, and installed it in the front of the bed using a coat hanger bent to hold it and fish it in place....worked like a champ and cost ZERO.....

You get two...an M6 and an M8. The M6 is used on the Glad's bed-sides. I've used it for a bed cover mount.

The soft cover I used came with multiple hardware including their version of a riv-nut and hardware/mounting brackets that gave you the option whether the Glad had factory Trail-Rails or not. Truxedo Lo-Pro
