FAQ

Where is the Sawtooth Stretch made?: Sawtooth Stretch expandable tonneau covers are made in the USA!
ow secure is the Sawtooth Stretch?: Like every other soft tonneau cover on the market, security can be limited. However, because the Sawtooth Stretch covers both small and large gear, you have added peace of mind knowing your gear is out of sight of potential thieves.
Is the Sawtooth Stretch waterproof?: No tonneau cover is completely waterproof. The Sawtooth Stretch is water resistant and does a great job preventing water from entering the pickup truck bed, but some water may still enter your truck bed along the side of the tailgate.
Can I put cargo on top of the Sawtooth Stretch?: Sawtooth does not recommend placing cargo on top of the Sawtooth Stretch expandable tonneau cover. The aluminum cross support members are not recommended to support cargo loads.
Can I lock the Sawtooth Stretch?: Placing a locking mechanism on the Sawtooth Stretch expandable tonneau cover would severely limit its versatility, ease-of-use, and quick installation. It was intentionally omitted.
Are Sawtooth tonneaus warrantied?: Yes! Sawtooth takes great pride in its tonneaus and offers a warranty to its amazing customers. Please see the Sawtooth warranty information for more details.
How do I clean my Sawtooth tonneau?: Your Sawtooth Tonneau is naturally stain resistant, but occasional cleaning, as needed, will help keep your tonneau looking sharp. You can clean your tonneau at your local automated car wash or by hand with a soft sponge or soft washcloth and rinse under cold water to remove any excess soap.
What is the lifetime expectancy of the cover?: Sawtooth has a limited lifetime warranty on its tonneaus. Sawtooth warranties the textile material for two years and the remaining parts for the lifetime you own the original vehicle. You can expect years of service out of your Sawtooth tonneau cover. In the rare event that the cover is damaged outside of the warranty, you can simply purchase a new replacement cover, at a reduced rate, without having to purchase an entirely new tonneau!
Will water shed off of my Sawtooth tonneau?: Yes, your Sawtooth tonneau comes with easily removable cross bars that bow to allow water to shed off and not pool on the tonneau. When you have cargo to load, simply lift the cross bars out of place to allow tall cargo to be loaded into the tonneau.
Will my Sawtooth Tonneau handle harsh winters with snow and ice accumulation?: Your Sawtooth Tonneau is designed to handle cold snowy winters. Sawtooth Tonneau was developed at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains to handle extreme cold and snow loads. Each tonneau has easily removable cross bars that keep snow from “sagging’ the tonneau in when no cargo is under the tonneau. Please note, all materials that are exposed to extremely cold temperatures naturally become more rigid. Your Sawtooth Tonneau will too become slightly more rigid however, your Sawtooth Tonneau will remain flexible and stretchable. It may require a slight extra pull to stretch and hook the tonneau to the tonneau rail.
Can you open and close the tailgate with the Sawtooth tonneau cover installed?: Yes, the Sawtooth tonneau is supported over the tailgate with a black anodized frame. The tailgate can be opened and closed easily. The Sawtooth frame even includes a gasket over the tailgate to help prevent water from entering the cargo space.
Does Sawtooth Tonneau offer any lockable cover options?: Sawtooth does not produce a lockable “lock and key” tonneau at this time. When they, at Sawtooth, talk about “securing cargo” in its marketing promotions, they are referring to its tonneaus’ unique ability to come in direct contact with cargo and stretch tightly around it, providing protection from shifting while driving and far more effectively “securing” your cargo in place than competing tonneau covers.
I have a toolbox on my truck. Will I be able to make a Sawtooth tonneau fit?: Sawtooth tonneaus are designed to completely cover and protect the bed of your truck and the cargo inside. It will not fit with a toolbox installed on the truck bed.
Will my Sawtooth tonneau work with other truck bed accessories?: Yes! The design of your Sawtooth tonneau enables you to accessorize with most bed rails, bed liners, and rail caps.
Other available colors?: Sawtooth tonneaus are currently only available in black. It’s a timeless classic!
Can cargo really come into contact with my Sawtooth Tonneau?: Absolutely! Sawtooth Tonneaus are made with just the right amount of rugged dependability and flexibility to cover most common-sized cargo. That said, sharp or excessively jagged cargo can snag, tear, or cut your tonneau cover, so evaluate each item in the bed before covering it with your Sawtooth tonneau.
Does the tonneau flap in the wind while driving at high speeds?: When a strong cross wind pushes sideways against the side of the pickup truck while driving at high speeds, and the tonneau is lying flat, you can get a small momentary lift of the tonneau textile. This is normal and will not affect the performance or life of the tonneau. Also, the textile material will not come loose as long as it is secured around the tonneau frame perimeter.
