Yeah, I finally just made me a little coat hanger hook to grab it when I couldn’t get it to pop out after jiggling it. Eagle which bed cover are you using on your truck if you don’t mind me asking?I had a Bakflip on my ‘13 F-350 and I loved it. Was on the truck for four years and was still good and water tight when I sold it. I dealt with the opening cord issue you’re describing, but I got pretty good at jiggling it just the right way to the point where it never bothered me.
