ABSTRACT:
A tonneau cover for a pick-up truck cargo box in which a flexible sheet cover is attached to a frame with snap fasteners. The snap portions carried by the frame rails are slidable there along and can be removed from the rail to change the position of the snap fastener. A spring retainer is mounted to the rail end to prevent inadvertent removal of the snap portions by providing a deflectable stop in the path of travel of the snap portions. The stop portion is deflectable to enable the snap portions to be removed from the rail when desired.
