You know you can put your tie-downs back on if you want to...

I considered that, but figured I'd try it this way for a while. Maybe it's a tiny bit easier to reach the levers without the cleat in the way?

 

I'm not great with a lot of "mechanical" stuff, and also somewhat lazy , but man is this cover easy to take off and replace; ultra simple, like myself.

 

I have mine on since I got the truck home. The cleats have never gotten in the way, that I recall. 👍

 

The cleats are in the basement - they might go back on there soon ...

 

Also, for anyone that doesn't know... There are two boss' molded into the front of the cover that stops against the front wall of the bed. Makes it easy to get it aligned.

 

I installed the OEM cover today. Super simple - just replace cleats on four corners with the brackets for the cover and then sit in on and latch it down. Here are some close up photos of the latches:

OEM cover looks great, good job on the install, looking to pick mine up in the near future!

 

From my experience it's worthwhile checking non-dealer sources when you're ready to buy. I found the OEM at BK Honda Parts for seven hundred something (in 2020) and asked my dealer if they wanted to compete, and they matched it, vs. the 1000-1100 list price (don't remember exactly).

 

1st thing I bought for my truck was this cover.
Picked it up when I picked up truck.
Design is great.

I test drove a different used Ridgeline which had this cover installed.
Knew I had to have this once I settled on truck.

for inside the bed I have the ‘Bedrug’ 2 piece mat and tailgate rug
too cold to install but spring is coming
uses velcro and easily removed

It also uses 3M adhesive. The kit comes with adhesive promoter but it's recommended that you purchase additional promoter.

 

yes, bought extra

 

can I get the link for where you got it?

It looks like they have gone up in price and now say "Local pickup only". Mine was shipped

 

I had this cover installed at the local dealerl. There is a gap between the cover and the bed walls at the "cab" end of the cover. Is this normatl? If now ideas on how to fix it please.....

 

I'm not sure which direction your gap is running. Along the front? Or on the sides? Either way, the cover isn't installed in the right place. There are tabs on the cover that need to sit in front of the brackets. If they are sitting on top of the bracket, that would make it have a gap.

 

Without pics, I'll offer this.
There are little nubbins on the leading edge of the cover that are suppose to come up against the brackets to center the cover. Get in there with a flashlight & have a look.

 

Here are some pics of the gap I am asking about. Again any help/hints are welcome

Your inside picture are too blurry for me to tell what's going on. Here's mine:

From your outside photo, it looks like that tab is probably sitting on top of the bracket instead of in front of it.

BTW, mine originally was behind the bracket, but it leaked terribly. I have to loosen and readjust the bracket so the tab could sit in front, and it's lot less wet now. Note that I didn't say "dry" - but close.

 

That is not sitting correctly. Remove and install again.

Just went out and took pics of mine (crappy day out..)

 

thx for the answers and pictures. Heading back to dealer for fix.....

 

They should handle that easily - good luck.

 

They should have done it right in the first place.

 

Can anyone share how you open the cover? Just curious if you have to open clamps on both sides for each section or not.
