2007 Chevrolet Silverado Tonneau Cover Install - Make Your Bed

  |   2007 Chevrolet Silverado installed Tonneau Cover The tonneau cover market has come a long way from the early days of vinyl covers that required 100 snaps to be drilled into the sides of your truck's bed. Actually, if you unsnapped them and re-snapped them too many times, they would inevitably break. It didn't sound like fun to us. Thankfully, bringing tonneau technology to current standards is Gaylord's new TL-Series bedcovers. Gaylord's latest bedcovers require no tools to install and only a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the lock mechanism. We slipped into the installation bay of Gaylord's as they rolled a brand-new '07 Chevrolet Silverado inside for a local dealer. This install took no time at all; we actually made it longer by having the technician stop and hold poses for us so that we could cover the installation properly.Follow along as this Chevy gets the James Bond treatment and goes undercover.

From The Driver Seat:
The Gaylord's TL-Series bedcovers was fully optioned, minus the edge trim. We really like the smooth look of the trimless edge. Also, because of the keyless remote, we didn't have to worry about ever grabbing the edge and possibly chipping it. With the cover in the lifted position, a simple flip of the switch turned on our optional light source. And since it was hooked to the truck's power supply, we could leave that light on for almost any amount of time we needed, while working in the bed loading and unloading items. Now, our truck looks much cleaner, with the color-matched cover and lends a sport appearance to the bed. Although it might pose a problem for those truck owners who use their beds for mostly utilitarian reasons, our trucks don't usually have to haul anything taller than the bedrails, so a tonneau system like this is perfect. It would only take an extra hand and one minute to remove the TL cover, should we ever need the full use of the bed. YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
