This wasn’t for the main tonneau cover shipment, it was a small box with new hardwear. Here’s the box:
Not that it matters. Just posting so other folks are aware, if they request updated hardware, they may have to pay the shipping company.
Wow. After contacting Flowkottu, they shipped me new brackets via UPS. UPS guy shows up at the house demanding $28 via check or money order payable to UPS or he won't leave the shipment. Sure hope these brackets fit. Apparently, this is due to the new tariffs against China.
Thanks for your help. I requested the other brackets through Amazon. We'll see what happens. I guess I need to take the thing off my truck if I want to drive it. Ugh...
Did you guys use the thick “waterproof sponge” or 2 layers of the thin along the top of the bed at the cab? The thick one seems like it might be too thick. The 2 thin ones look too thin. Seems like it might need 3 layers of the thin…
Just picked the thick one. Crossing my fingers.
Do these brackets look right?
Edit: After attaching these to the bracket bolts that are in the t-track on the underside, it's clear that the bolts with the knobs and feet on them are nowhere near long enough to reach the inside sides of the bed. The brackets don't seem to fit very well.
Thanks, guys. Being a new truck owner, I looked at those plugs and just saw that they were covered with bedliner and didn't realize they're not really a permanent part of the bed.
Flowkottu arrived. Step 2 in installation is to drill a 20mm hole in the front of the bed. Yikes! Didn't have that in mind. It's for drainage from the canister. Tough to want to drill into a brand new truck. Just gotta get over it, I guess.
Are the locks the same on the Willmoso and the Flowkottu? The Willmoso on Ebay shows it's a combination lock. Flowkottu doesn't show lock detail on Amazon.
Edit: Videos on Youtube show a key on the Flowkottu.
Any suggestions for roads like this in SW Colorado? Heading to Durango/Ouray/Pagosa Springs this summer, but have never been there. I'd like to do some mountain roads w/ the RR and the family.
As a new truck owner, I'm just learning about these things... Should I get flat washers and split lock washers to go between the flat washer and an eye bolt, or is it ok with just the eye bolts and no washers?
Congrats! I too, made the move from an S550 (2017 GT Premium, Performance Package) to a Ranger Raptor. So far, so good. I do miss the Mustang some, but I'm really liking this truck. It's the first truck I've owned, and I think I picked a good one!
