How does the Full-Metal JackRabbit work?  The Full-Metal JackRabbit cover slides along rails mounted to the sides of the truck bed into a canister at the front of the truck bed. The Full-Metal JackRabbit blanket rolls around a reel inside the canister with the help of a coil spring which maintains tension on the cover at all times making it easy to open. The canister measures 9.6” wide by 9.66” high.

What is the Full-Metal JackRabbit “blanket” made of?  The Full-Metal JackRabbit is manufactured out of heavy gauge extruded aluminum panels with a black textured powder coat finish for increased strength and durability that are fastened together with a patented silicone hinge seal.

Will the cover keep the truck bed dry? What about ice and snow?  The Full-Metal JackRabbit is designed so that water collected on the top is carried to the canister. Drain tubes located at the base of the canister then take the water outside the truck, to help keep your truck bed dry. Water cannot pass through the top of the cover, however water may intrude into the bed via components that are not part of the Full-Metal JackRabbit such as the tailgate, stake pockets, etc. These components require proper sealing during installation. We do not claim that our covers are 100% waterproof and have never heard of a competitors cover that is either. Be very cautious if a manufacturer says that their retractable cover is 100% waterproof.   Snow should be swept off of the cover with a broom before operating the cover otherwise you will end up with the snow in the truck bed. Ice can be removed by taking your hand and smacking the cover as close to the middle as possible this will cause a vibration in the cover that breaks up the ice making it easy to remove. Do not use anything but your hand for this.

Is the cover hard to install? How long will installation take?  Installation is easy. All parts are an exact match to your truck – no cutting necessary! JackRabbit covers are installed with our patented SpeedClamp™ system on most applications. Installation should take 15 minutes for the professional and under 30 minutes for a first time installer. See the installation tab for complete instructions.

How does the Full-Metal JackRabbit lock?  The Full-Metal JackRabbit locks with a key Offset to the driver’s side near the tailgate. The key turns arms that lock into the side rails mounted on the sides of the truck bed. The Full-Metal JackRabbit can be locked in place at 12 inch intervals along the truck bed.

Will the cover improve my gas mileage? How?  our gas mileage should improve between 7% and 10% on the highway, with the cover closed on the bed (except when towing). A university study shows substantial gas mileage improvement whenever the box of a pickup is covered. See the press release information attached on gas mileage savings. Input from customers and our own experience bear out the accuracy of this claim.

Will the cover work with my bedliner?  The rails on our cover are designed to fasten directly on the sill of the truck bed. If you have a bedliner that covers the sill, modification will be required. Most under-the-rail bedliners are more easily fitted with our cover, but may also require modification near the front corners. See Bedliner modification attached.  Please call our Technical Support Reps for information regarding fit with your bedliner.

Is there a warranty on the Full-Metal JackRabbit?  Yes, there is a three-year factory defect warranty on all parts.

Full-Metal JackRabbit™ Care and Maintenance:  To assure quiet, smooth operation, apply a small amount of grease to the wear strips where the metal end of the panels and the wear strips meet. This initial application should be sufficient for a year or more. Regrease the wear strips if the cover begins squeaking during use.   It is important to open and close the cover regularly; the spring that operates the cover is self-lubricated and regular use assures that it stays in proper working condition.   After installation, if the cover is tight or hard to open and close, the shimming may need to be redone. Over a period of time, if the cover becomes difficult to move in or out (particularly on hot days), check that the side-to-side clearance on the Full-Metal JackRabbit is set at least 1/8” on each side.   Drain tubes may become clogged over time and should be removed and cleaned. Periodically remove the top cover and clean out the canister.   To help keep the Full-Metal JackRabbit retractable tonneau cover looking its best, we recommend washing it the same as caring for your truck finish. However due to the hammer texture, removal of wax can be difficult so you should not wax your cover.

PE-FM2003/PE-TE5003 - Pace Edwards JackRabbit Full Metal Retracting Truck Bed Cover
Posted By: John M. (Champaign) on 07/2008
I did the install myself, but it really helps to have two people both when placing the receiving box into your truck bed and when aligning/installing the rails. Some install tips (for Chevy 2500HD short box extended cab - and possibly other trucks):

1. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

2. The rails have a notched out area on the cab end about 12 inches long. Lift this OVER the first attachment point, then slide the rail into the appropriate attachment points on the box. This will save you a headache, and it's not mentioned in the instructions.

3. When installing the clamps for the side rails, slide them on loose first. Then measure across (rail to rail) at the front and rear of your truck bed. Try and get the rails as square as you can. Then tighten the clamps.

Like I said, I installed this myself, and it was doable. If you have a truck like mine, you will have to drill drain holes in your tuck box up by the cab. Especially since I had my box lined previous to installing this. Another point to note, the rails may not sit perfectly flat as the sides walls are not flat on top. Don't worry - it still looks nice, and is very stable. It's rained several times since I installed the jackrabbit, and it does a decent job of keeping most of the water out of my truck bed. Of course a little gets in, but that's to be expected. I have a picture on my blog at .

Maybe I'll do a separate post about the install with some more detailed pictures here in a day or two. Still, this is a very nice bed cover. Excellent quality and very sturdy.
