Shop This CoverOverview
This roll-up cover is built specifically for the GMC Sierra 1500’s 6.5 ft bed, not trimmed down from a universal size. A low-profile aluminum frame mounts to the bed rails, and a marine-grade vinyl top stretches over it, held taut by a tensioning system built into the frame rails so the top doesn’t sag or flap at highway speed.
Because the top rolls back on itself rather than folding into panels, this is the fastest way to get full, unobstructed bed access on a GMC Sierra 1500 — release the side latches, roll the vinyl toward the cab, and the entire bed is open. It’s also the lightest cover in the Airplex lineup, which matters if you ever want to remove it completely for a long haul.
Built From
Vinyl Top
Marine-grade, UV-treated vinyl resists fading, cracking, and mildew even with regular outdoor exposure.
Seals
EPDM rubber rail and tailgate seals stay flexible through repeated hot and cold cycles, keeping rain and dust out.
Frame
A low-profile aluminum rail frame supports the vinyl top and keeps it tensioned so it doesn’t sag between the rails.
Latch System
A tailgate and side latch strap system keeps the rolled or closed top secure at highway speed.
Confirming Your GMC Sierra 1500’s Fit
Bed length has to match exactly for the frame to tension correctly and the seals to sit right. This cover is built for the GMC Sierra 1500’s 6.5 ft bed — check your bed length on the door jamb sticker or in your owner’s manual before ordering, since the GMC Sierra 1500 is also sold with 5.8 ft and 8 ft bed options depending on cab configuration.
How Installation Works
- Clean the bed rails. Wipe down the factory rail where the frame clamps will sit.
- Assemble the frame. Snap or bolt the low-profile side rails together per the included instructions.
- Clamp the frame to the bed rails. Hand-tighten the included clamps, then torque them down evenly.
- Attach the vinyl top. Snap the top onto the frame and adjust the tensioning system so it sits flat with no sag.
- Test the latches. Roll the top open and closed, checking that the side latches engage cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the 2019–2024 GMC Sierra 1500?
Yes, this cover is fitted for GMC Sierra 1500 model years 2019–2024 with a 6.5 ft bed. Check your bed length on the door jamb sticker if you’re unsure which bed size your truck has.
Does this work with the Sierra’s MultiPro tailgate?
Yes. The cover mounts on the bed rails and clears the MultiPro tailgate’s fold-down positions when the tailgate is fully closed.
Can I install this by myself?
Yes. It ships as a rolled vinyl top with a separate low-profile frame kit, and mounts with included rail clamps — most owners complete the install solo in under an hour.
Will the vinyl top sag or flap on the highway?
No, as long as the frame’s tensioning system is adjusted correctly during install. A properly tensioned top sits flat and doesn’t flap even at highway speed.
How do I clean and maintain the vinyl top?
Wipe it down with mild soap and water — avoid harsh solvents, which can dry out the vinyl over time. Replacement seals and latch straps are sold separately if either ever wears out.
