Hey, guys, it's Sara with americantrucks.com and today we have a review and install of the Proven Ground Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover fitting your '14 through '18 Chevy Silverado 1500s. This is perfect for the Silverado owner who's looking for a budget-friendly softcover the folds away quickly and easily. This soft tri-fold tunnel cover keeps your bed covered and dry and when you need access, folds away quickly and easily. The frame of this tonneau is constructed from heavy-duty aluminum with a black powder coat finish and it features this durable vinyl top. It also features this low profile design with a no-drill clamp on fastening system. So, one thing I wanna note with this cover as with any softcover is that it's not gonna offer as much protection as a hardcover would, it's not gonna pass the knife test. However, if you're looking for a quick and budget-friendly way to cover your bed, this is an excellent choice.So, as far as price goes, this one comes in at around $275 making it one of the most budget-friendly tonneau cover options for your Silverado. I'm giving this install a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter. It features a direct bolt-up install with no drilling required and can be done within one hour. So, with that said, let's jump into our install.All right, so the first step in our install, you're gonna grab your cover and place it on top of the bed of your truck, line it up to the bulkhead and make sure it sits evenly. Now, we're gonna go underneath and attach the clamps. So, pull the clamp down off of the cover and line it up to the side of the bed, and make sure that it hooks the edge of the bed here and then clamp it down. If it still moves, loosen it and then you can twist it to tighten. Make sure you're getting a good grip on the bed of your truck when you clamp it down. Next up, we're gonna do this safety strap here. Twist this knob to loosen it up, then you're gonna slide it over the edge of the bed and then tighten the knob down. This is just an added precaution in case the clamp does come loose. So, it doesn't need to be taut, just tight to the edge of the bed. Repeat that on the other side. Now, these are adjustable so if it does come out you just place it back in this slot. There's a slot back here and there's one forward as well, we're going for the middle one. That's nice because if you do need to make adjustments you can adjust forward or back a slot.At this point you can fold out the tonneau, just double check that it lines up with the bed of your truck and make any adjustments if needed. Once you're sure that it's sitting in the right spot, clamp on the rear the same way you clamped on the front. All right, so once you've latched your cover down, you can shut the bed and that's gonna do it for the review and install of this tonneau cover. And remember for all things Silverado keep it at americantrucks.com.
