    The back hinge (closest to the gate) assembly of the Tonneau cover on my 2016 Tacoma got tweaked and now it does not seat quite right.

    Anyone know where I can get parts ?

    The "manufacturer" does not support the parts because it is third party sold as OEM.
    I tried that for a different part.

    Throw it in the trash and time for a BakFLIP mx4! Or try and look at other tonneau and see if you can match up some random parts or ebay

    Thanks Linguist!

    This was very helpful.

    After using the diagram and doing some digging I found the part for under $50.

    I will follow up after the part arrives and the work is complete.

    Glad I was under warranty when I had mine repaired. Apparently the back cover will hit the side rail cleats if the cleats are all the way back on the rail and it eventually snapped the hinge between the middle and back section.

    I think mine got jammed up when I closed the gate with the last third open and it was tight. It seems weird, but this is all I can figure. Basically it caused the hinge rod to bend / kink. The housing is a little tweaked as well, but that should not matter if I replace or straighten the rod. I was just about to do some restoration on the color too.

    The hinge part arrived today and it is the wrong past. I's the cover fo the hinge, no the hinge for the cover. Poorly worded part description.

    None the less I took the thing part to see if I could straighten out the hinge myself, but the rod that is bent is imbedded in the assembly and cannot be removed. As well another one of the end caps at the hinge broke. I had the other side break last year. They are veery poorly made and after a few years of sun are about as sturdy as a graham cracker.

    Essentially, it's time to punt and replace the whole cover.
