Double-walled aluminum slats and a textured black powder coat define the Pace Edwards Full Metal JackRabbit, a hand-operated retractable cover. Water that reaches its contoured canister drains out through a tube at the base, and the deck locks at 12" steps for taller cargo. Part FMCA27A58 suits the 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 with GM's 5'8" Short Box (69.9" measured), apart from trucks with the CarbonPro bed.
What's Included:
- Full Metal JackRabbit retractable cover with its canister
- Standard mounting rails
- Vehicle-specific mounting kit with the speed clamp system
- Drain tubes, integrated with the canister
- Installation instructions
Explorer Rails for an overhead rack or crossbars are a separate version of this cover and are not part of this standard-rail kit.
Features
Double-Walled Aluminum Slats
The all-aluminum deck is built from double-walled aluminum slats for strength.
Textured Black Powder Coat
A semi-gloss textured black powder coat covers the aluminum and guards it against corrosion and oxidation.
Lock Positions Every 12"
Release the deck anywhere along the rails and it engages a lock position every 12", covering part of the bed while leaving room at the rear for tall cargo.
Key-Lockable Twist Lock
A turn of the twist lock releases the deck. With the cover closed and a locking tailgate shut, the bed is closed off from the outside.
Tailgate Works in Any Position
The tailgate opens and closes on its own whether the deck is fully closed, fully open or parked at one of the lock positions.
Spring Open, Strap Closed
Pace Edwards' heavy-duty Continuous Tension Spring carries the deck into a contoured, low-profile canister, and an integrated strap pulls it back out to the tailgate.
Sits Nearly Flush
The low-profile deck sits nearly flush with the bed rails, so the truck keeps a clean side view.
Drain Tube and Clamp-On Rails
Water that reaches the canister empties through a drainage tube at its base. The cover is weather resistant, not waterproof, and most applications clamp on with the speed clamp system and no drilling.
Fitment & Compatibility
Fit guidance: Part FMCA27A58 fits the 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5'8" bed. Some years carry a fit note (New Body, without CarbonPro Bed); check the Notes column for your year. Retractable covers are cut for one bed length, so match your bed before ordering. Pace Edwards notes for this part: not compatible with GM factory side storage boxes.

Installation
Type: clamp-on rails with a vehicle-specific mounting kit · Drilling: none on most applications, drain-tube holes where the bed has no factory drain holes · Bedliner: over-the-rail liners usually need trimming
This application ships with a mounting kit made for its truck, a speed clamp system and instructions, and it clamps on without cutting or drilling on most applications; the drain tubes need drilled holes on trucks without factory drain holes. The rails lay flat on the bed sill and the clamps grip the sill, so an over-the-rail bedliner usually needs the part covering the sill trimmed or removed, and a notch for the canister at the front of the bed may need to come out as well.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. Pace Edwards backs the Full Metal JackRabbit with a limited lifetime warranty against failure of materials and workmanship, covering separation of the deck panels, all lock assemblies, and all hardware and components. Replacement parts are free for as long as the cover lasts, for the original owner on the original vehicle only, and the coverage does not transfer. Not covered: normal wear and tear such as fading or discoloration, water that gets in at any point and the damage it causes, added parts and accessories, and acts of nature. Coverage is void after lubrication other than what the owner or installation manual prescribes, misuse, negligence or accident, improper installation, cargo that is not secured, or an accessory installed without Pace Edwards' written permission that interferes with the cover. Pace Edwards repairs or replaces a defective part at its discretion and does not cover consequential damage to the vehicle or other property. Shipping. The carrier and ship method are set by the size and weight of the carton when the order is placed. Inspect on delivery. Open the carton when it arrives and check the cover, rails and hardware before you start the install. Note any visible carton damage on the delivery receipt and photograph it, because damage reported later is much harder to claim.
Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.
About Pace Edwards
Pace Edwards has built retractable truck bed covers since 1988, designed around security, straightforward operation and a streamlined look that keeps a pickup looking like a pickup. The Full Metal JackRabbit carries a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner on the original vehicle.
The Full Metal JackRabbit is the all-aluminum sibling of the JackRabbit: it keeps the key-lockable twist lock and the lock positions every 12", and replaces the JackRabbit's ArmorTek vinyl overlay with a double-walled, powder-coated aluminum deck. The SwitchBlade and SwitchBlade Metal, by contrast, travel fully open or closed and have a canister that lifts out. Pace Edwards' manual covers are the JackRabbit, Full Metal JackRabbit, SwitchBlade, SwitchBlade Metal, UltraGroove and UltraGroove Metal, and the BedLocker and UltraGroove Electric add powered operation.
Pace Edwards builds its decks on aluminum, laminated with its padded ArmorTek overlay or finished in powder coat, and its manual covers retract on the company's own Continuous Tension Spring. Drain tubes carry water that reaches the canister out of the bed.
