And that's exactly what I fight, is the back one sliding up a little and letting the entire clamp want to pop put of the rail grooves and move even when it's tight it still wants to move. In theory, the grooves on the rail are supposed to keep it in place when you're tightening them, but they don't. |
The clamps it comes with are more than sufficient. I’ve had the Truxedo lo Pro tonneau on my 2008 for the past 9 years and it’s never had an issue. Still works just as good.

The only time i have had those types of clamps come off a truck, was when my sister rolled my Dakota back in High School.
Three full rotations to land on its feet again. One door gone, roof pushed down over a full 1', all four tires blown out, front bumper pushed back into the front tires, and one of the four clamps still in place with a section of fiberglass from the cap pinned to the rail.... But my long winded point is that the clamps are usually more than capable of keeping a tonneau on under normal driving conditions. |

Seems like we are drifting off course here. I don't thing the original poster is concerned with the effectiveness of the clamps or them failing. Sounds like he is not pleased with the way they look and stick further into the bed space than he would like. |

I think that's why Rnlcomp posted unobtrusive clamps. Look close.
