You bet! If your Tuff Tonneau is purchased as a replacement, you’ll have it installed in minutes. If your Ute has no fittings on it, most Tuff Tonneaus come with a complete fitting kit, including support bars and easy to use instructions. You should be able to fit your new Tuff Tonneau cover to your Ute within an hour.

It’s very easy. With the Tonnolock^TM anti-theft system, all you need to do is unlock the padlock that secures the Tuff Tonneau to your Ute to remove it within seconds.

In most cases they are. Tuff Tonneaus Bunji covers are compatible with both over-rail and under-rail Ute liners. However slight modifications may need to be made to the front section of the Ute liner so that the aluminium sail track can be attached directly to the vehicle. Our Clip-On covers however are only compatible with under-rail Ute liners. 

Absolutely. Tuff Tonneaus are extremely durable. We use a vinyl that has a polyester weave backing which gives it very high tear resistance and tensile strength. Our tonneau covers are also weatherproof, abrasion and rot resistant. In fact, they are so durable, they come with a five-year no fuss warranty.

The best cleaning agent for a Tuff Tonneau is 303 Protectant. Not only does it renew, beautify and preserve your investment, it’s non-greasy, so it will not attract dust like other cleaning agents. 303 Protectant is available from all good auto stores or from our online spare parts shop.

The main difference between our Clip On and our Clip On 2.0 tonneau covers:

Clip On:

• Requires drilling aluminium rails to the inside of the tub.
• Can be installed in around 1 hour.
• Includes a 'Tonnolock' TM anti-theft system, which secures the tonneau cover to the ute body so it cannot be stolen.

Clip On 2.0: 

• 100% No drilling, inside or out of the tub.
• Can be installed in less than 15 minutes. Watch our 2.0 Install Video HERE
• Adjustable fitment clamps mean anyone can fit this cover, and if they make a mistake simply adjust the clamp for a better fit. 
• One piece Support Bar precision cut to suit your vehicle.
• No Tools required, we supply a handy 6-in-1 multi tool that is all you need to fit our cover to your vehicle.
• Every Clip On 2.0 comes with a free bottle of 303 Aerospace protectant to keep your tonneau looking great. 

Both Clip On Tonneau Covers come with a 5 year warranty, fully weather proof lining on the top of the tonneau cover, rot-proof bonded thread, a rip resistant material, maximum U.V protection, hauling flexibility with our over-size load carrying system and a full fitting kit that includes everything you need to install your cover.

No tonneau cover is waterproof. We use a rubber seal which is weather tight. You can get water into the bed of your Ute if you use a high-pressure washer or hose and angle it to force the water directly up into the bottom of the lid. However, it is possible to get water into any lid. We state that our tonneau covers are weather proof. If it is raining, water should not leak in if your tonneau has been properly installed. We've also tried to get water into it via a car wash. So far, the Tuff Lid has not leaked water in any car wash that we've been through!

Absolutely. You should be able to install a Tuff Lid in less than two hours using simple hand tools. We can install one in about 45 minutes. Your installation time will be a little longer if you've never installed one before, and you will need two people to help handle it.

Very easy. The Tuff Lid is designed to be removed in less than a minute. It only requires a screwdriver to release the gas struts, then you remove the safety key rings from the front hinges and simply tilt up the lid and slide it out of the hinges.

All our paint is colour matched to the OEM specification (paint code) on the Ute. However because of variations in paint by the manufacturer, it is impossible to guarantee a perfect colour match, but in our experience less than 1% of complaints are due to variations in paint colour. We use the same paint code as the manufacturer consequently paint match is rarely a problem.

Our Tuff Lid locks with a key in the centre of the cover near the tailgate. The key turns levers that slide under lock brackets mounted to the side of the tub as well as locking under the lock bracket that is mounted in the centre of the tailgate. Watch it in action.

Sure are! Tuff Lids are compatible with both over-rail and under-rail Ute liners. However slight modifications may need to be made to the front of the liner so that the lid hinges can attach directly to the vehicle.

Yes. If your Ute has a tailgate handle on the outside, the Tuff Lid comes with a special locking pin that fits into the tailgate locking bracket, preventing the tailgate from being opened.

Our Tuff Liners are made of high-density polyethylene. They are designed to protect your Ute from deep dents and gouges, spills from paint, oil, acids etc, and dirt. Remember, dented and rusted Ute tubs are a great way to lose money on your trade-in.

Absolutely. You should be able to install a Tuff Liner in less than one hour using simple hand tools. We can install one in about 45 minutes. Your installation time will be a little longer if you've never installed one before, and you will need two people to help you handle it.

The ribbed floor design of all Tuff Liners promotes air flow between the liner and the floor of your Ute which prevents moisture accumulation.
