Place cover over the cab end of the truck bed.

  • NOTE:
    Take care not to damage/deform all seals when installing Tonneau to the truck bed.

    • NOTE:
      Visually check to ensure the front frame is even on both sides.

With tailgate open and front clamps secure, completely close the cover.

NOTICE:
Do not use wrench or overtighten.

NOTICE:

  • Do not secure the plastic bed rail or bed cap.
  • The clamp must contact the striker plate.
  • Ensure the clamp is positioned under the striker plate.
  • Hand tighten until clamp contacts, then tighten an additional two turns.

Close the tailgate and unfold the cover. Check that the cover is parallel and square with the truck bed and bed rails. Adjust the cover until the seal fits with the tailgate as shown. If not parallel or square, open the cover and loosen the cab clamps to reposition the cover.

Slide the tail clamp at an angle to the truck bed rail. Push down on the cover near the clamp while installing the tail clamp. This will compress the seal and there should be no gap between the cover and the bed rail. Align the tail clamp under the bed rail and the flange insert. With some vertical gap remaining and while applying downward force to the clamp, release the clamp allowing it to snap closed to the bed rail.

  • This method will ensure that the clamp is now properly engaged and locked. The cover should have no gap in the bed rails.

OPENING SOFT FOLD COVER

Pull the rear clamp down and unhook it from the bottom edge of the bed flange. Slide the clamp, at an angle, away from the bed wall.
