ABSTRACT:
An improved tonneau cover clamp includes an inner clamp section for engaging a pickup truck bed sidewall, an outer clamp section configured to hold a tonneau cover rail to the sidewall, and a cam handle section for selectively attaching the inner clamp section to the outer clamp section so as to provide a clamping force on the sidewall. The cam handle section is configured to engage one or both of the other two sections in such a manner as to facilitate adjustment between the two sections to adjust to top flanges of sidewalls having different thicknesses, thereby enabling a single clamp to be used with a variety of different truck brands and models.
