Mopar Tri-fold Tonneau Cover

[GatorMD]

Hi all,
First post from the recent owner of a new 2022 Gladiator Mojave. I optioned a factory Mopar tri-fold tonneau cover for my build thinking it was the best option to fit my needs. I had no idea how thin the aluminum on this thing was going to be. Week one of ownership my mountain bike accidentally dropped over onto the cover causing the brake handle to puncture right through the top of the cover. I was able to patch the hole with some JB weld and paint over it but I'm sure this won't be the first time this cover will take a hit given my intended use for this vehicle. I probably should have gone with something rugged like the Diamondback tonneau cover but too late at this point. Does anyone know if the individual panels are replaceable? I'm thinking no since it looks like one whole unit but I'm not sure. Anyone else surprised how thin this thing is? See pics for original damage and repair.

Dang, that sucks! Your repair looks good though. It blends in with the glossy cover and rippled texture. I have BakFlip’s version of the cover. Mine seems pretty solid, but I haven’t really dropped anything on it to test it.
I would be surprised if they sold individual panels.

If I recall there are some threads about the diamondback cover. It seems like they had to be shimmied up to sit properly, otherwise they damaged the bed rails and they seemed to be overpriced. Anyway, I can’t remember all the specifics, but I’m sure someone will pipe in.

I know it sucks your new cover got damaged, but you did a good repair. Consider it your rig’s first scratch/ding and be thankful it wasn’t somewhere more noticeable.

I vote to leave as-is and spend the cost of a replacement panel on something else.

Thanks Man. I've actually been reading about the other cover and did come across that issue you mentioned. I agree that my best bet is to just suck it up and move on. I'm pretty happy with the repair. I'm sure this will be the first of many scars.

Haha I've actually used that stuff for a quick fix on a leaking pool waterfall pipe. Worked like a dream before I was able to do a permanent repair.
