Newer model Mopar roll up tonneau on 2020

[lesdatatraveler]

I am going opposite of most posts I have found. I have a March 2020 Sport that came with the trifold soft tonneau. I got a killer $100 deal on an almost new Mopar roll up, however it’s for newer Gladiators.

My jeep had a M5 on the top hole with a rubber bushing type of nut. Then it has the M8 bolt on the bottom with a nut on bed.

The newer tonneau uses the top hole for its M8 bolt. I need a nut on the upper holes for the new tonneau.

Can I just use any round M8 rivnut and tool? The hole is not hexagonal. Is there anything that I need to consider when purchasing the tool (I.e clearance, sizing, etc)?

if you call Extang who makes covers for Rugged Ridge and others and "tell them" I bought a cover that needs the brackets for the 2020 . My gladiator without the weld nut, they will ship you these brackets. Bulk head bracket H in the attached diagram.

Thank you so much! I would have never imagined something like this existed. I’ll give them a call today. Thanks again!

Just going to post my conclusion, just in case someone searches this thread. I ended up getting impatient and just went to harbor freight for a rivnut tool and some rivnuts. They inserted easily into the top holes and the $100 roll up tonneau is installed!
