I am not a mechanic but have some skill. > Was the grinding noise was only when the Tonneau cover raised & lowered ? That is, the noise stopped when the Tonneau cover made it up or down ? Is the stuck Tonneau what made you have to go to the dealer ? Pardon all the questions, if we can pin this down to a Tonneau motor that needs a little repair rather than something else, we might be able to save you a lot of cash. FWIW, I fixed my Tonneau motor with a $8 kit from Saab and about 4 hours of labor when it started to grind and then refused to lift. Bob
