Best way to remove snuglid SL tonneau cover?

I just had the snuglid SL tonneau cover installed and love it! Was curious to know the best way to remove it when I occasionally need to haul something? Should I undo the three bolts on each side of the rim mount pieces? It appears that if I loosen those six bolts I can lift it right off. The remount should be relatively easy as well since it seems they have the side mounting brackets flush against the rear of the bed.

I don't know about your install but the bracket that the front of it pivots off of has a knurled **** that you unscrew. Once removed the front part of the lid can be lifted and removed from the bracket.

The lift cylinders are then unbolted (2 each side) and it can be lifted off.

Be advised, it is a heavy ******! It is a two person affair.

Getting it back on (easily) can be a nightmare. Lining up the front pivots with the brackets take some practice.

Definantly not the lid for easy on and off.

Mine now sits on my carport awaiting a buyer.
