Squeaking Tonneau Cover on the Vert
I was looking through the TSBs for a different problem and I fell across this one:

Mine squeaks occasionally so I thought it might be worth a shot but is it me or is this difficult to interpret. Where on earth does the tape fit? Is it along the inside of the tonneau lip?

My guess is in the curved area that shows up as a double line, but it's certainly not clear.
Does yours squeak?
My 04 does not, but It's always nice to know something like this for the future.

I've got a rough stretch of road between here and the local town Steve. It's about the only time that it does squeak but I figured a strip of window insulation or even hood seal type material might be an easy fix
If I can work out where to stick it

My take on it.
Apply the tape on the Tonneau cover where each "spot" meets the 2 left and right rubber stops which by the way are threaded to adjust for height thereby creating a better meeting point to the 2 left and right spots on the Tonneau cover.
