A clamp for a tonneau cover including a leveling feature intended to enhance the fit between a tonneau cover and a pickup truck bed. The clamp includes a first and second jaw member capable of pivoting between open and clamping positions, allowing the first and second jaw members to securely grip a section of the pickup truck. Additionally, the clamp defines a mounting surface that serves as a platform for attaching various tonneau cover components, effectively connecting the cover to the pickup truck bed. To achieve optimal alignment, the clamp includes a first and second lever that can be adjusted by applying opposing forces to enable modification the planar angle of the mounting surface, facilitating the leveling of all mounting surfaces among the clamps attached to the pickup truck.
