Abstract

A tonneau system for a pickup bed comprising a side rail connectable with a sidewall of the pickup bed, a header system having a header member, and a retainer system operably coupled between the side rail and the header system. The retainer system can include a header retaining member and a header lock selectively coupled between the header member and the header retaining member. The header lock engages the header retaining member in both a header engaging position coupled to the side rail and a header disengaging position decoupled from the side rail to retain the header retaining member in the header engaging position and the header disengaging position.
