- Place the folded, assembled bed cover (A) over the cab end of the truck box
- Unfold the bed cover (A) fully and adjust position over the truck bed for proper front (cab) and rear (tailgate) alignment. When positioned front and back, the tailgate seal should contact the tailgate with the first two fins
- Carefully refold the bed cover (A) without shifting its position on the truck bed.
- Cab clamps.
Hook the cab clamp under the installed cab rail brackets (G). Tighten the knob
until the jaw makes contact, then turn an additional two turns. Repeat on the
opposite side of the truck bed.
Hook the cab clamp under the truck bed rail metal flange. Tighten the knob
until the jaw makes contact, then turn an additional two turns. Repeat on the
opposite side of the truck bed.
-
Install the tailgate latch bracket (D) by aligning the curved end of the bracket into the hole in the truck bed metal and the threaded stud of the bracket into the notch in the truck bed metal.
-
On the back side of the bed metal, install a washer (E) and a lock nut (F) onto the threaded stud. Tighten the lock nut with a 7/16” wrench. Repeat steps 5 & 6 on the opposite side of the truck bed.
-
Attach the striker bracket (C) to the latch bracket (D) using the Torx head screws (B). Leave them loose for later adjustments.
-
With the tailgate open and the front (cab) clamps secure, completely close the bed cover.
-
Align the latch with the tailgate striker bracket (C). Push down on the cover while tightening the Torx screws (B) with the supplied T-27 wrench.
-
Adjustments and tightening of the latch assembly is required.
The bed cover latch assemblies and rotary knob come from the factory only
partial-ly tightened to allow for installation adjustments. Both latches and
rotary knob will require adjustment and final tightening. Only use the hand
tools provided, do not use power tools.
Lower the rear of the bed cover and adjust the position of each latch so that
they engage with the striker brackets, (Fig. 1). With the latches adjusted,
from underneath the cover, use the provided T-20 Torx wrench to tighten the
two screws, (Fig. 2) in both the driver and passenger side latches.
The cable from the driver’s side latch comes routed through the barrel clamp
of the actuator and hangs out. Slide the actuator so that 3/4” – 1” (19.1 –
25.4mm) of cable extends through the barrel clamp, (Fig. 3).
Rotate the actuator knob until you see the flat head screws. Tighten the two
flat head screws using the provided T20 hex wrench, (Fig. 3).
The cable from the passenger side latch comes routed through the other barrel
clamp of the actuator. Ex-cess cable length is routed through the middle of
the actuator assembly (above the bottom plate below the plastic housing). Do
not trim the excess cable, leave it for future adjustments, (Fig. 3).
Next, tighten the barrel clamps, (Fig. 4) with the pro-vided 2.5mm hex key to secure the latch cables. Rotate the actuator knob, (Fig. 4) to verify that the latches disengage from the striker brackets.
Double-check that the cover is secure and tight to the truck bed by gently lifting the corners to ensure the mechanisms are engaged.
-
To make the final adjustment, loosen the striker bracket screws. Then move the bracket (C) down by firmly pushing the cover (A) or pulling the rear bow downward to the truck rail and tailgate. Make sure that both sides match, then retighten the screws.
-
The tethers come installed looped over the bed cover bow with a clamp at the other end. Install the clamp end by sliding the clamp onto the truck rail. Make sure the clamp is positioned as far up onto the rail as possible. Firmly hand tighten the knobs. Install the tethers on both sides of the cover.
Opening the cover
Open the cover by twisting the actuator knob and lifting the cover.
Securing the cover
To drive with the cover open, fold the cover forward to the cab and fasten
BOTH straps in the middle section to the front rail. Check that the straps are
tight, and pull the strap end if too loose.
IMPORTANT
Re-tighten the front/cab clamps and tethers after the first week of driving
the vehicle. Also periodically check the clamps and tethers to ensure they are
secure.
Closed/Extended Position – Bed cover must be completely secured by all four
(4) clamps.
Open/Folded Position – Bed cover must be completely folded up (all panels) and secured at the cab with the provided buckles straps and with both tethers attached.
Do NOT drive with the bed cover in a partially open position.
