Can I Install My Century Cap By Myself?

CENTURY only authorizes and warrants installations done by Authorized CENTURY Dealers. Proper installation, wiring, and adjustments are best done by trained, experienced personnel. Professional installation by a CENTURY Dealer is a wise investment in the performance, appearance, and safety of your CENTURY product.

What Are The Inside And Outside Dimensions Of The Truck Cap I Am Planning To Buy?

In general, our cab-high caps follow the height of the truck cab and continue rearward at that height, parallel to the truck bed rails. Our High-C product line adds about 4 inches. T-Class heights vary. Please view individual product pages or contact your dealer for additional information.

Product dimensions are only one factor in the overall height of your truck. Also consider the suspension system, the weight of the load in the truck, tire size, and other factors. Always consider the overall height of your vehicle before entering a garage, parking facility, drive-through, underpass, or any other area with limited clearance.

How Do I Measure My Truck Bed?

To ensure a proper fit, measure your truck bed before purchasing your new CENTURY tonneau cover.

  1. Place the end of your measuring tape at the bulkhead of your truck bed.
  2. Moving down your bed rail, measure to the inside edge of the top of your tailgate.
  3. Most truck manufacturers round their bed sizes, so choose the option in the fitment bar that is closest to your measurement.
Do You Have Inventories Of Truck Caps Or Tonneaus On Hand?

Virtually all of our production is custom-ordered to match each customer's truck. Because of the large number of potential sizes, styles, models, and colors we offer, we maintain virtually no inventory of unsold products at our factories. Active CENTURY Dealers often have some inventory on hand, generally concentrating on the most popular truck models, bed sizes, and colors. If you are looking for an in-stock product, contact the CENTURY Dealers near you.

I Lost The Keys To My Truck Cap Or Tonneau. How Can I Replace Them?

Check with your local CENTURY Dealer, as they can sometimes provide a replacement set of keys on the spot. If they don't have the keys you need, they will contact CENTURY on your behalf. If your lock is currently in production, we will send a set of keys to your Dealer. If your lock is no longer in production, the lock itself will need to be replaced by your local CENTURY Dealer.

What Other Trucks Will My Century Truck Cap Fit?

Although dimensions may appear similar for many truck models, most CENTURY molds will only fit the make, model, and style of truck they were originally designed for. In many cases, a particular truck body style remains in production for several years with virtually no change, and a cap may fit any model year during that body-style run.

Beyond that, dimensions, angles, clearances, heights, and styling details vary enough that it is unlikely a cap can simply cross over from one truck to another. If you want to pursue it, we recommend a trial fit on the truck.

Why Do Century Products Vary In Different Parts Of The Country?

Century utilizes three factories, located in Milton, Pennsylvania; Elkhart, Indiana; and Woodland, California, to produce its fiberglass truck caps and tonneaus. Each factory uses its own sets of molds and buys local parts and assemblies when possible. Each is also able to make subtle variations that suit the region of the country where its products are sold.

The major features, styling, warranty, and quality of CENTURY products all meet the same high standards no matter where they are produced.

I Lost The Century Logo On My Truck Cap Or Tonneau. How Can I Replace It?

Check with your CENTURY Dealer, as they often have logos on hand and can get them to you quickly. If your dealer does not have the logo you need in stock, you can also email us with your request and we can assist you. Make sure you include your street address in your email. Wherever possible, we replace logos as a courtesy to our customers.
