ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting a hard tonneau cover to a pickup truck greatly simplifies the installation procedure. The system serves to automatically position the hinges, support struts and latching plates both relative to one another and relative to the truck. Moreover, this installation does not require any holes to be drilled through the truck's sheet metal while loads are distributed so as to prevent distortion of the top rails.
