can't get my tailgate open
I have a 98 Ranger, I also recently installed a rail system tonneu from Autozone. It's not a low profile tonneau but it just sits on top of the bed and it's held down by 6 clamps, 3 on each side of the bed. My problem is I can't open my tailgate, not unless I really give tailgate a good yankin' like I want to rip it off or something, lol I got it open once when I just finished my tonneau and was testing it out. I went to haul some junk to the local dump but I couldn't get my tailgate to open. Do I have to roll it up and then open the tailgate, sounds silly???? Any way I can prevent my tailgate from getting stuck onto the tonneau????

Maybe the back end of the tonneau is getting caught on the top of the tailgate. I had the same problem when I first bought mine. "Try unloosening the tonneau with the 6 clamps, and move it just a little more towards the cab." I have the ame setup as you, with the 6 clamp design. "Just make sure the very back of the tonneau is barely touching the top of the tailgate and you should be alright." Hope this helps!
