The Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite and Personal Caddy are now available for the All New Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon in both bed sizes. This is the first time that a Personal Caddy will be made available for a mid-size truck. The G4 Elite and Personal Caddy are both currently available to order on the Fold-a-Cover Factory Store website.
Steffens Automotive has updated the G4 Elite for the Colorado & Canyon to the clamp-on installation method used on the G4 Elite for the new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. So, there’s no drilling required and no need for access to the stake holes for installation. As with the G4 Elite for the new Silverado & Sierra, the weather seals will come pre-installed and the Center Latch Catch has been integrated into the Windseal Rail Assemblies. Plus, the no-drill installation makes alignment easier than ever by using existing holes in the truck bed. Additionally, the rear stake hole is left open to be used as a handhold for the Step-Bumper that is a stock addition to all Colorado and Canyon trucks.
As mentioned, this is the first time Steffens Automotive will be offering a Personal Caddy for a mid-size truck. The Personal Caddy’s installation process is very simple and takes only a few minutes. The Personal Caddy fully integrates with the G4 Elite Fold-a-Cover and sits below the front panel of the cover. This keeps it concealed and makes it independently lockable from the rest of the truck bed making it the perfect spot to store expensive tools or items that shouldn’t be rolling around in the bed of the truck. Unfortunately, due to the limited size of the truck bed on the Colorado & Canyon, the optional sliding aluminum tray will not be made available.
The installation method for the G4 Elite on the Colorado and Canyon is very similar to the installation on a Silverado or Sierra. So, check out the attached video to get an idea of what the installation entails:
I have a long bed (6’3″) Colorado on order and I need to know more about your model # 19330068 and 19330067. I currently have Bakflip G2 on one of my pickups and am satisfied with it and would like to know how your is better and what length of warranty comes with it and how much load it will support?
Thank you
Jim,
Thank you for contacting Steffens Enterprises, the makers of Fold-a-Cover.
We went ahead and sent you an email answering your questions. Please reply to that email or email us at [email protected] if you have any additional questions.
This is a forum (sort of) so PM doesn’t help the rest of us.
The previous comment had already been answered because he had contacted us directly via email. Do you have any specific questions that we can answer for you about our Fold-a-Cover products?
I too would have liked a direct post on here answering the first question…. ugh now I gotta go look on google at other tonneaus
Brian,
I assume you’re referring to a comparison with the G2? If so, check out our video comparing the 2 products linked below:

Hello,
I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado 6ft bed with spray in bed liner, I have had a Bak Flip HD Which was to short for the bed and the seals fell off in the sun the next day. The length was to short and did not sit on the bulk head of the bed which intern leaked gallons of water. Customer service told me thats how the cover is engineered and said someone else could get me replacement seals. It took 30 day and counting to return this horrible product. They gave me a very difficult time with this process. The bak box I ordered never made it to the truck because of how bad the water leaked. Now I am looking again for a replacement cover… How can Fold a Cover guarantee me a better product and customer experience? Your product is a bit more expensive then my previous product, plus shipping. What can you do for me?
Thank you,
-Chad
Chad,
Thank you for contacting Steffens Enterprises, the makers of Fold-a-Cover.
I’m sorry to hear about the poor experience you’ve had and would love to invite you to experience the Fold-a-Cover Advantage. We do not state that our tonneau cover is 100% waterproof, however, it has been tested during the GM Certification process to become a GM Certified Accessory to be 98% water resistant during natural rainfall. Our seals are adhered using a semi-permanent 3M Adhesive and are pre-installed here at the factory. In my experience, I have never encountered a seal that has failed that we installed here at the factory.
As for Customer Service, I hope my response here will convince you that we are dedicated to Customer Service because we understand that we would not exist if it wasn’t for our customers. We have a return policy in place and if you are not satisfied with the product we will certainly allow you to return it for a refund in a timely fashion.
I understand that the previous product you had was a bit cheaper, but our product is manufactured of the highest quality automotive grade materials that are precision machined here at our ISO9001/ISO14001 facility in Caledonia, MI. We worked directly with GM to design this cover and our commitment to quality is why, even after 18+ years, GM continues to supply our product as a certified accessory that you can purchase directly from your GM dealer. Our Personal Caddy’s quality is unmatched and I welcome you to watch our comparison video that shows why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z8hhAoxxgk

Hi, I have a 2015 GMC Canyon crew long bed with spray in liner. My question pertains to the factory GearOn system. Can I still use the cargo tie down rings and bed separator with the G4 Elite installed? Or will the brackets needed for your system interfere with the GearOn system. What about the personal Caddy?
Thank you for contacting Fold-a-Cover. The G4 Elite is not going to interfere with most of the tie-downs that exist in the truck bed. The bed separator should be fine with the cover but none of the ladder racks, bike racks, etc. that are taller than the truck bed rails are going to be compatible. The Personal Caddy is going to block off the tie-downs in the front of the truck bed.
Please contact us directly at [email protected] if you have any additional questions.
Hello, I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado and would like to purchase a cover and caddy. However, I can not seem to find it anywhere on the internet not even in your factory store?. I did find it sold by Chevrolet as an OEM part but at an substantially marked up price. Are they offered to the public or exclusively by Chevy?
Kent,

I just purchased a 2016 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab with a 5′ bed. In researching Tonneau covers, I’ve come to the determination that the foldacover may be the one for me! My question surrounds the bedliner that I am looking to install. I’m planning on installing a Bedrug bed liner and want to make sure that the foldacover along with the Caddy will fit with a Bedrug bedliner installed.
Your response is appreciated!
Thanks
Scott,
Thank you for contacting Fold-a-Cover!
The BedRug works just fine with the G4 Elite. I have attached a link to the installation guide below so you can see where the brackets of the G4 Elite mount. The BedRug should be able to go right over top of the brackets.
Please contact us via email at [email protected] if you have any additional questions.

Bought 2016 GMC Canyon, interested in Fold-a-Cover and Caddy. Will Caddy fit over the GMC rubber bed mat?
Thanks
Steve,
Thank you for contacting Fold-a-Cover!
The G4 Elite and Personal Caddy should not have any issues with the rubber bed mat on your GMC Canyon.

Hi, I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado Z71 crew cab with short bed and recently had a G4 elite put on through my local chevy dealer. The rear panel near the tailgate doesn’t appear to be flush but it still locks. While it is locked you can lift the rear panel up and there is almost a 2 inch gap between the top of the tailgate and the cover, is this normal? It doesnt appear to be very safe. I had scheduled another appointment with the local dealer to review the installation because something has to be off when they put it on. Anything you know of off hand that can cause this or something I can look for to ensure the install was done properly. thanks
Jonathon,
Thank you for contacting Fold-a-Cover.
It does sound as though the rear panel was not adjusted properly during initial installation. We would recommend asking your dealer to make the adjustments and encourage you to provide our contact phone number to your dealer should they need any advice on the adjustments. We can be reached at 800.322.0522 from 8AM – 5PM Eastern Time, Monday – Friday(we’re closed Christmas Eve and Day this year).
Essentially, your rear panel is not latching properly. This could be because the Striker Bolts are too low. The Rotary Latches could be timed too tight. Or, it’s possible that your rear seal is just too stiff and needs some Armor All to help reduce friction between the seal and your tailgate. Most likely, it’s a combination of the 3.
Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any additional questions.
Thanks for the prompt response. I have the info to pass along to the dealer.
Should the seal in the back that meets the tailgate be folded under or sit on top of the tailgate?
I have a new 2016 GMC Canyon and purchased & installed from dealer
Jim,
Thank you for contacting Fold-a-Cover.
The rear seal on a G4 Elite should lay out flat and point away from the truck bed. If yours is tucking under remember to open the rear panel before closing the tailgate and use some Armor All to recondition the seal and teach it the new position.

The center of the cover wont lay flat
I lost the spring for the center latch on the driver side. I was wondering if there is any way of getting a replacement spring?
I recently purchased a 2018 Colorado, crew cab, with a 5-foot bed. Really like the look and quality of the Fold-a-cover and plan to make a purchase. I have a kayak and need to occasionally have to have rack on the truck. I would also like to be able to lock all of my gear when using the rack. Is there a rack that works with the Fold-a-cover?
