Hook for Ford Bed Divider setup

[umpkey]

Hello,
I know several have mentioned how difficult it is to move the Ford Bed Divider as you have to go back and forth on both sides and move it a little at a time or get up in the truck and move it by pushing from the center. I found a boat/dock hook off amazon and some simple clip mounts and mounted it. Now with the hook and having the side rails in the unlocked position i can easily move it forwards and backwards while standing at the back of the truck using the hook. I have attached pictures and will provide links to what I bought on amazon. Hope this helps some others who are having this difficulty.

Neat solution! Post a video of how you are making it work!

My Superduty/PowerStroke HO has a canopy on it and my surgically repaired knees don't take to crawling.

I have a "bed hook" fabricated from a broom handle and a "ladder hook" like this:

With the hook I can poke boxes into a box wall and can retrieve any box by reaching over the tailgate.

Pics to follow, my SD is at home in the Olympic Peninsula and I am currently not!

(kudos to my brother for both the idea and the fabrication)

Thanks James (the OP) for the excellent pics of the OEM tri-fold tonneau cover.

I ordered my Maverick with one and before your post hadn't seen a decent photo of one installed!
