Default Anyone recognize this?

This is the only bracket I have left on the truck from the tonneau cover the PO installed.

I wanted to remove them all to clean under them, but every last one of the screws seized and sheered off. Now I would like to figure out who makes it, so I can get replacements from the company.

As far as I can tell it is solid aluminum, and so was the screw. Thanks!

i am sure once you get it out you can go to any hardware store and pick up a replacement. is the tannau cover soft? if so there should be a tag on the cover saying who made it. if its a hard top you might be SOL you can try to match it on Google images? i had to do that with my tool box to find the proper replacement locks

I think it's cover craft. I just pulled that one off my truck and have it at home. I'll check the make tonight and re-post.

Also, an easy-out should get that out of there, then just get a replacement from a hardware store.

Well the hard part is removing the sheered screws from the bottom bracket without damaging the bore. The aluminum screws are so tightly in the aluminum brackets, I don't think I'd be able to get them out with out drilling and messing up the threads.

I did some googleing and found what seems to be the unit in question.

I emailed the guy in my area, so we shall see what he says.
