Does this install at factory mounting points, or do I need to drill the bed?

Mounts directly to factory bed rails using the included clamps—no drilling required. Test-fit the clamps on your rails before final tightening to ensure a tight seal.

Can I access the bed without removing the entire cover?

Yes. Each of the three panels folds independently toward the cab, so you can fold back one or two sections to load cargo that doesn't fit under a closed cover.

Does the hard panel finish need paint or prep before installation?

The cover ships ready to install as-is. If you prefer a custom finish, sand and prep per standard automotive procedures—test on a small area first to confirm adhesion before full coverage.
