Tonneau cover repair

Have a hard tri fold cover…….Yita Motor
Aluminum panels, with honeycomb material underneath……
Some fell on one of my panels, put a dent about the size of a quarter, problem is, it cut the aluminum……about an inch in length

sorry, didn’t see how it got damaged……..

any ideas on how to repair……….lots of videos on repairing the soft trifolds, but none for the hard trifolds…..

repair has to be waterproof….

 

Check to see if MFG will sell you a new panel

 

yita Motor customer service is horrible, and I’m not fluent in Chinese……..so No.

 

Beat out the dent, and have the aluminum welded.

 

Duct tape

 

Can you post pictures?

 

This is the downside of owning one of those cheap / thin Chi-com aluminum covers. Easily dented and probably no hope for an invisible repair. I would go with a small patch of JB cold weld I guess but again have zero expectations for this being a stealth repair.

 

Wasn’t cheap at all……look it up……
It wasn’t a roll up or vinyl tri fold either.

 

I'll try your guys tip with the duct tape and jb weld. Thanks guys

 

LOL! I mean JB weld and duct tape are pretty amazing, but your repair might be stretching it's capabilities just a bit!

 

Idk, ones i have seen on Amazon are low cost....even their more expensive tri fold cover isn't that costly. The toyota cover will cost more, and its pretty beefy.

 

you get what you pay for. I am not saying I don't buy some cheap shit,, I do, very rarely, but I also know the risks.
I have a local topper place, and they sell parts for the brands they sell, but of course those brands don't include the Chinesium models.

 

Not 100% sure what I'm looking at. Is the back 1/3 or 1/2 broken off?

 

Thats gonna be a two roll job
