ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removably attaching a tonneau cover to a pick-up truck bed comprises a rectangular framework formed of four individual, elongated frame members each having a longitudinally extending channel formed therein. An elongated, plastic extrusion having first and second, longitudinally extending, resilient, spaced walls is slidingly inserted within each of the channels in the frame members. A plurality of male fastening elements each having a rigid, rectangular snap portion with a trapezoidal-shaped terminal end are fixed in spaced relation to the peripheral edges of the cover. A lip is formed about each snap portion which engages first and second flanges formed on the first and second walls of the extrusion upon pressing the snap portion of a fastener in the extrusion channel formed between the first and second walls thereof.
