Hello Everyone....New guy 1st post

Hi, I am new to these forums, a friend of mine just purchased a used truck.
2003 F150 w/Triton V8. The truck has a hard tonneau cover which we
cant seem to open, Im guessing either never was used much or the cables
are bad. I was told you can buy a kit to replace the cables, problem is
we cant open the tailgate due to the cover being in the way, Which makes me wonder , how can we fix the cables if we cant get at them. I have tried
to look on web to see if I can find and answer but no luck. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated..TY

Just an idea but maybe see if the company name is on the tonneau cover and give them a call to see if they have an answer to your problem. Just a thought, by the way welcome to the site.

My husband had an idea, drill out the locks on the tonnea cover. I have a tonneau cover on my 2001 F-150 as well. You might give that a try.
