2007 Chevrolet Silverado Tonneau Cover Parts
This is it. These are all of the parts necessary to make a TL-Series Gaylord cover go onto your truck's bed.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Required Tools
These are the tools required to get the tonneau cover installed. We'll list them here for you: your hands. A screwdriver could be used, should you need to adjust the lock mechanism for proper actuation after the installation
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Bedside Mount
The installation began with the under bedside mount of the EZ-Grip clamp-on system.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Installed Bedrail Mount
The corner bedrail mount was set into place, then screwed to the rear mount, which effectively sandwiched the two parts together with the bedrail as the "meat."
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Completed Bedrail Mount
You can see the completed EZ-Grip bedcorner/rail mount assembly simply set into place. We followed up by placing the driver-side components into position.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Rear Clamp On Mounts
The rear clamp-on system mounts carry the rotary latch catch arm. The installation tech at Gaylord's loosened up the catch arm to make it easier to get it adjusted, once the tonneau was in position.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Lifted Lid
It took two people to set the lid into position on the bed. With one fell swoop, the lid was tilted up so the forward catch arms could be slid into the pivots.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Installed Spring Arm
Since the lid was already in position, our technician set each EZ-Assist Spring Arm onto the tonneau's pivot pins and the rear clamp's pins.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado Spring Clip
A spring clip slides through the pins and ensures the spring arm does not come off its mount.
