Will this work with my tonneau cover?

This cap is engineered for tonneau cover use. Verify your specific tonneau model clears the cap profile before final purchase—some covers require the cap to remain open during tonneau operation.

Does this need primer or paint before installation?

Test-fit first. Determine your finish preference and prime/paint as needed before final mounting. Once fastened, paint touch-ups are harder to execute cleanly.

What hardware do I need to secure it?

The cap uses factory tailgate mounting points. Bring a socket set and basic hand tools for installation—fastener specs and torque values are in your vehicle service manual.
