Great basic install! I took mine a step further and weather stripped the entire length of the edges as I need the least amount of water getting in. (Baby stroller, bags that etc) if you have it like this and not weather strip (especially the front edge where it really needs it. You will get some water in there
@@thewarontom about a year in, drove cross country trips with our cargo in down pouring rain at highway speeds, the only slight leakage was the tailgate area but I'm talking few drops here and there. I put on a kit that seals the tailgate. The biggest issue with this particular model for the tacoma is there the seal on the rear meets the top of the tailgate. There is the ever so slight gap because there is not enough down pressure and a slighty too thin weather stripping that leaves tiny gaps, however I carefully added a bead of silicone against that strip with waxed paper between the seal and the gate, let it sit until it stuck to the seal then carefully removed the wax paper to leave a perfect line of silicone. It's 99.9% water proof, besides taking a pressure washer to it. It's tight. Biggest advise is to take a bright flashlight, climb inside the truck with the cover on and see where the light shines. It's not really an issue when your moving as there is enough air speed to wick the water from this gap, but I needed a near perfect seal as we carry all our cloths and gear in the bed on travel
Great video!! I bought another brand (MaxMate), and after watching this video, I was able to install it on my Tundra without having to look at the instructions once. It was an easy install and looks exactly the same as the Tyger. Thank you for the video 👍
I got this same cover coming in for my tacoma 5 FT bed in a few days. I have had a trifold on there and while it works okay, losing 1/3 of my bed space was causing issues, and I found i was removing it often for tasks.
I have water leakage on mine, which I installed this Monday, coming from the corners by the bed. I’m going to either adjust it some or add the foam this weekend. Besides that I’m extremely happy with it!
Hey from 🇨🇦 DJ! Thanks for the video! Just signed the papers on the exact same truck as you sir! I ordered it at the end of June! Very excited to pick it up on Thursday! Just ordered the same tyger cover as well! A little more pricey up here! Thanks again for the vids! Cheers
Thanks for the vid! this made me pull the trigger and got one, and just installed easy thanks to your video. I had same issue with the little gap on the tail gate door. but its minimum
@@DJXPLRS Mine actually failed. The latches stopped working. I took the cover off and installed a Truxedo Truxport. To be fair though, Tyger Auto sent a complete new kit to repair the latches and release cord. Has not arrived yet. I’ll probably put the cover up for sale CHEAP.
First heavy rain coming back from Lancaster, Pa this past Monday. In spite of the lack of foam stuffing in the front bed gaps (the bed not the tonneau), I go no water infiltration. For new owners, I would recommend taking a long drive to see how the cover acts. I discovered some flapping at speed caused by a slightly mis-aligned tonneau track. Not a defect, just an adjustment to make: loosen the track, re-align it, tighten.
Here I am a year later and just bought a 22 Taco. Very helpful video. I had the tri fold on my f150 and as you said, lose one third of the bed access due to the hard cover. You have helped make up my mind on the T1 soft cover. But now that it is a year later, how has it held up over the past year?
Just got mine today and installed it! 20243 trd off road short bed. I was worried that I didn't add the winter/rain strip but see you also didn't add it lol. Any issues on yours so far with out it?
Random question, but do you have any rattle noise in your bed with this cover? I can’t remember having this rattle before putting the cover on. It happens when I shut the back doors and when I hit bumps or go over any rough pavement. I have all the hardware installed tight though so I’m really not sure if it’s the cover.
I ended up with the Tyger trifold and am really happy with it. It’s a ton better than the one that cost twice the price that I had to send back! Thanks
I didn't use the weather strip so some water will get it when it rains or through the car wash. But not bad. I go through the car wash every week and it does great.
@@deadhound3168 take your time and weather strip everything and foam where it needs it. Unless your just using your cover to keep from prying eyes, water getting into the bed from the edges (the vinyl is waterproof) is no good.
Often the manufacturer hasn't updated their specs for new models. 2022 isn't a redesign year so truck specs will be the same. It's an amazing cover especially for the price.
It is a soft cover, so it's thin enough to roll up easily. But strong enough and thick enough that it handles snow and rain like a champ. I've loved this cover!
Way better than official instruction video!!!!!!!
Glad it helped
Nicely done. Watching this made the install very clear. Much clearer than the official instructions. Thanks!
I'm so glad it helped. I still have mine in and it's been great.
Thanks a lot! Didn’t read instructions, just watched your video!!!
Glad it helped!
Best video on this cover by far!!! Great angles for visibility and very concise and to the point .. thoroughly done bro!!!
I'm glad it was helpful. I still love this cover after more than a year.
Thanks for the video! Got mine installed on my 22 last night and couldn’t be happier with the price/quality. 🤙🏼
Congrats! I've been very happy with mine. It's held up really well.
Thank you!! Because of this video I finally got my cover!
Nice! Congrats. I love mine and it's held up so well.

True. I still have the weather stripping and should get it attached.
After you sealed it, are you getting any water?

That's great to hear!
Just got mine delivered today. Ready to get to install it this weekend
I've loved mine. It's kept things dry through several rain storms I've driven through.
great videos. I followed you and finished in just 30 minutes.
That's great to hear. I've loved my Tyger Tonneau Cover.
I got this same cover coming in for my tacoma 5 FT bed in a few days. I have had a trifold on there and while it works okay, losing 1/3 of my bed space was causing issues, and I found i was removing it often for tasks.
That's exactly why I went for the roll up. I've loved it!
appreciate. I had tri-fold in the past, but gonna try this next. tks.
I've been very happy with mine.
I have water leakage on mine, which I installed this Monday, coming from the corners by the bed. I’m going to either adjust it some or add the foam this weekend. Besides that I’m extremely happy with it!
Hopefully the foam seals that up nicely.

You are welcome. That's exciting that you're getting your Tacoma. The Tyger cover will be great to have on it.
Thanks for the video DJ!
Anytime! This has been a great product!
@@DJXPLRS Thank you for the endorsement!
Just ordered mine and can’t wait too install it for my cement grey sport 2021. Great video btw
Nice! It's not easy to get a new Tacoma this year, but it's totally worth it! And the soft roll Tonneau cover has been a great addition to mine.
After having the cover for over a month now. No issues and definitely worth the money.
Nice. Ordered last week and it looks like mine is coming in tomorrow or Saturday.
That's exciting. It's the single best mod I've done on my Tacoma so far.
Excellent video thank you!
Thank you
Great video! Super informative and well explained. thanks for sharing!
Thank you, and thanks for the support!

Glad it was helpful. I love this cover!
Have one coming. Got it for $152.10. Going on a TRD Sport with 6’ bed.
I've loved mine and it's held up great.

Thanks! I'm really liking the look of it.
Great video, thank you
You're welcome
Hello DJ Awesome video thank you . By the way did you notice a different in gas mileage? And it's funny I'm actually a DJ by trade. Thanks again
I think if anything it helps with gas mileage.
So easy a Coleman could do it, hence why I had to watch this video
I've loved having this cover. It's holding up great.
Just did my install with this video thanks
Glad it helped out!

Tks 👌🏾👌🏾
No problem 👍

@@DJXPLRS Thank you. We just ordered one this morning. I really appreciate your info and your quick reply.
Just got mine today and installed it! 20243 trd off road short bed. I was worried that I didn't add the winter/rain strip but see you also didn't add it lol. Any issues on yours so far with out it?
Never had issues without the strip. I park in a garage though so it doesn't sit outdoors for long periods of time.

It happens when I shut the back doors and when I hit bumps or go over any rough pavement. I have all the hardware installed tight though so I’m really not sure if it’s the cover.
I haven't noticed any rattle.
Hows it look and held up now?
Held up as good or anything else I've done to my Tacoma
I ended up with the Tyger trifold and am really happy with it. It’s a ton better than the one that cost twice the price that I had to send back! Thanks
Picking my 2021 tacoma up next week and was interested in this product now is it water proof? I'm assuming so
I didn't use the weather strip so some water will get it when it rains or through the car wash. But not bad. I go through the car wash every week and it does great.
@@DJXPLRS I appreciate it brother thanks for the response!
@@deadhound3168 take your time and weather strip everything and foam where it needs it. Unless your just using your cover to keep from prying eyes, water getting into the bed from the edges (the vinyl is waterproof) is no good.
Loving the content, D!
Thanks. I appreciate that!
Use the link and it says it does not fit the 2022 Tacoma😒 good video by the way
Often the manufacturer hasn't updated their specs for new models. 2022 isn't a redesign year so truck specs will be the same. It's an amazing cover especially for the price.
Just received the cover today put it on looks nice thank you for your help
I just put one on my 2022 Tacoma 6 foot bed. The link has 5 ft and 6 foot bed covers but does not fit the “ trail edition” due to tool boxes.
How thin or thick is the actual cover?
It is a soft cover, so it's thin enough to roll up easily. But strong enough and thick enough that it handles snow and rain like a champ. I've loved this cover!
