Threaded Roll-Up Tonneau Cover Mounting Holes

[MarineHawk]

Do all Gladis (including those without the stock Roll-Up Tonneau Cover) have the threaded holes in the bed for the four brackets illustrated in the thee pics below? In other words, will the Roll-Up Tonneau Cover bolt on to a Gladi that did not come with the Cover without drilling threaded holes?

Any information is much appreciated.

Yes, all the factory threaded holes are on all the Gladiators, the rear latch holes are under a cutout cover inside the rail cap, you can see the score lines. The front holes and trail cargo rail mounting holes are also present. The dealer installed by Roll-Up Tonneau cover, no drilling required. Install takes about one hour.
Cheers

Many thanks for the helpful response! I'm selling mine, as I am getting a full-height Softopper, and just wanted to make sure that a purchaser could use it without too many headaches. I assumed this because, as you can see in my pics, I have various threaded holes in different places in the bed that I am not using.

Really funny while trying to figure out how to adjust mine to make it tighter - in short, stretch it back a bit to take the sag out, I had it rolled up completely and looked at the two large torx head bolts up front - man, were the torx drive parts of those heads messed up badly. It's like they had a hexx of a time getting those bolts in or had trouble keeping their bit in the bolt heads. They WILL rust they are so messed up and sharp edges on the holes where their tool slipped and burred the edges of the torx holes in the bolt heads.
I wasn't happy - it was a factory install and looks like total crap.
They should give me new bolts as these look like a teenager who had never used a torx bit tool before put them in. Outrageous to see NEW factory installed bolts like that.

Does anyone have the same problems, just got my Gladiator and no threads. I will probably need to buy some nuts to put behind.

I used nuts on my 2021, but it will not be quick and easy to remove the cover if I need the cover off. Nuts are inexpensive, but it would have been much easier if I didn’t have to put a socket on the nut between the cab and bed.

I have the same issue. The holes are not threaded.

If you purchase a Mopar soft roll up cover for a 2021 it will comes with the required rivet nuts but you will need a tool to install them The rivet nut tool That Amazon sells for like 30 bucks works

My 2021 did not have threaded holes but the Rugged ridge soft tri fold came with a bracket that mounted between the cab and bed that the bolts threaded into. They were a L-style bracket.
