- Insert the top long tube into the top tube of the 3-tube assembly.
- Insert the bottom long tube into the bottom tube of the 3-tube assembly.

- Adjust the width of the BEDXTENDER to fit the pre-installed mounting brackets. To keep tube overlap constant, adjust each tube so that the gap between the edge and the tape is the same.
- Attach plastic upright around the tube juncture, placing rubber bumpers into the two ends of the upright.
- Tighten PT-Screws using a T-25 torx driver, starting in the middle of each upright, then the outer screws and lastly the remaining two to evenly tighten.
