How does the cover plate stay up?

Good morning, Valerie. There is a compression nut to tighten or loosen to hold/remove the cover plate. Thank you, Sarah W. | Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Once the plate is placed on the ceiling it is held in place by a black screw on nut

Hi! There is a protective cover included that you probably still need to peel off to reveal the chrome plate My goal is to provide 5 star service, please let me know if there is anything else you need we will be more than happy to help you. Thank you!

Cover can stay down while lowering the tailgate but you have to unlatch the cover and raise it a bit in order to close the tailgate.

The plate is supposed to be able to tilt the tv out, if that is what you are calling play. You can choose to tilt or just leave the tv level. But the tv shouldn't "fall" on its own.

There is a slight bevel where the two mesh plates join. But nothing that would prevent something from lying flat on it.

It does not slide easily into place. You do have to place the center indents in the right spot and make sure the plate clicks in.

Mine has been up now since January 2013 and still holding on! I cleaned the tile with alcohol before installing, making sure to let it dry first. I have razors & some jars of body scrub on it. I just don't push the limits with weight but it still is holding quite a bit and not fallen once.

There should be a place to pop it up on the edges. Use a table knife to pop it up if you don't have long enough nails. It kinda goes in at an angle then snaps down. Then replace cover. Hope this helps!

You have to drill a hole into the center of the plates. The screws go through the plates, and the flat ends hold them in place.

There is a magnet on the latch I fold it backwards and use it to keep it up but u don't have too I didn't have any problem getting it to stand and stay up. I just do it as a precaution

there are small "clips" along the edge. Carefully push or snap it loose and then slide the cover..It can be a little tough. Sometimes I use a flat plastic like tool to get in under the case...hope this helps..sorry I don't have a good clear answer

The other answer is the only plate I know of, or you can mount it in the center an use two single hole as covers

There is a solid top that slides on and a grate with bars above that. You could leave the solid plate out. I'm going to try that out myself.

It doesn't hide mine, but I've seen someone have their plate tied to their trailer in the up position. They probably switch it for each position.

This cover is held in place three ways. There are straps that go over the rear headrests. There are bulbous plastic tubes on the underside of the cover where the back and bottom of the seat meet. You push these tubes into the crack between the back and bottom of the seat. This keeps the back of the cover in place. Finally, there are elastic straps on both sides of the cover that you can tuck under the seat that keep the cover on the seat. It takes a little practice but is a no-brainer once you get the hang of it.

if you have already installed the cover try loosening the four screws and try to pop the cover again. The first time the cover is opened it is quite tight.If it still won't open remove the plate and open the cover from the backside. leave the cover open and re-install the plate with the four screws. DON'T over tighten the four screws. Try to close the cover and re-open it. If the cover won't close or it closes but cannot be opened the cover catch is damaged, bent or defective.I recently installed five of these and had no problems with the covers but they are hard to open the first time. if you have already installed the cover try loosening the four screws and try to pop the cover again.

Take our small screw on cover, keeping cover attached it swings out of the way. Then you mark (2) holes to drill and install provided anchors then screws, swing cover back down and secure with set screw. Hope this helps
