Rough Country Hard Flip Up Tonneau Cover installed on Tacoma TRD Pro

[entropy]

Hey guys, I went ahead and installed the Rough Country Tonneau cover on my TRD Pro. It looked very similar to the OEM but priced a bit better so I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I gotta say it looks and functions really well so far and the install itself was pretty straight forward with a bit of fidgeting to get things lined up right. I made a quick install video since the instructions it came with were almost useless. Anyway, here are some pics of how it looks and the install video in case it's useful for anyone.

Does it cover the rear view camera?

No just the truck bed.

So you have one and it does not cover the rear view mirror cam? Seem like most cover it uo except the oem.

The OEM covers the rear view camera. I've got the OEM and tried it... it just barely covers it :(

You are the first one I have seen saying the oem covers the camera. All others show it unobstructed.

My OEM definitely covers it. I was surprised when I looked at my digital mirror and couldn't see out the back.

None of the cameras are covered

Edit: This is incorrect, the rearview mirror camera and bed camera are obstructed when the bed cover is flipped up.

@JBSwine I'll see if I can take a quick couple pictures to show you what I mean.

This is what I see when I have the tanneau cover up but not secured (basically leaning against the back window)

Here's the Tanneau secured with the cross bars - it brings the cover up slightly.. which blocks the camera.

Here's what I see in the rear view with the cover up and secured

I retract my statement, i see what you guys mean now. Yes with the cover flipped up, the rearview mirror camera and bed camera are both obstructed.

Wow, total confusion on this post due to lack of context asking does it cover the camera . Hence my cheeky answer that it just covered the bed.

This is bad news. I thought it was not supposed to interfere with the camera :-(
