Minor accident but bed is tweaked.

[Wes Davis]

I was in a minor accident. I was hit in the rear end by a friend of mine. Long story. I didn't think I had any damage as the only thing I could see was paint transfer on my trailer hitch. Well today I went to get something out of the bed of my truck and my tonneau cover is tweaked. It was jammed and when I finally got it open it is clearly not sitting right on the bed. So this tells me something has tweaked on the bed of my Sport Trac. I can't see anything out of place but obviously something has twisted. Is the bed adjustable? Could it just be a matter of getting everything lined back up? Where and what do I need to look at to try and figure it out?



Thanks

The bed is bolted to the frame. The hitch is also. The frame might of tweaked slightly.

Since our beds are composite, they will tweak some. With the frame.

I sujest loosening the 4 bolts in the bed floor. See if the cover works. If so, make sure of bed alighnment. Retighten the bolts. See If all is well then...GL
