Default Undercover rubbing?

hey guys, I have about a 3/8" more of an overhang on the right side of the Undercover tonneau than on the left. I don't think the left is actually rubbing, but it's close. What's the best way to re-center the cover? remeasure the brackets? or loosen the clamps?

TIA,

CT

Check your front brackets and make sure they are even and not leaning... Sometimes they tend to lean over when clamped down and it will shift the cover to one side a little...

I just intalled mine monday and it sits close to perfect. The measurement from the front of bed to the bracket is the critical measurement. I used a sharpie when laying out the measurements cause the brackets like to move around when tightening up the clamps. Make your layout marks then snug the brakets just a little then bump the brackets dead on your layout marks and then the fit will be right on.

You were right. The front right mounting bracket needed to be adjusted back a little. Just disconnected the struts and front right mount bolts and got her perfect. I couldn't tell last night when it was dark as hell already. Very nice cover.
