WEATHER SEAL INSTALLATION FOR TRUCKS WITH AND WITHOUT TRAIL RAILS

1. It is important that all areas where the bed cover mounts are clean and free of debris prior to installing.
   

2. Install the bulkhead seal supplied in the shipping box.
   

3. Apply foam block seal to the driver and passenger side front bulkhead corners.
   
   Attention:
   The next installation steps will show how to install the front mounting brackets and hardware for trucks with the old bulkhead and new bulkhead configuration. The front brackets will work for both the Trail Rail and Non- Trail Rail Cargo Management System for Jeep Gladiator’s.
   NOTE: The front bracket installation will require identifying the bulkhead mounting hole configuration of your truck. This will determine which hardware packages to use.

Use the install wrench to hold the jack nut from turning while tightening the bolt with a wrench socket. This will pull and collapse the jack nut. Once the screw has stopped turning, remove it for installation at a latter step.
   
   Thread the buttonhead screw through the #10 oversize washer, through the bottom hole in the bracket, through the flat washer, and into the well nut.
   Note: Assemble just until contact is made, do not tighten fasteners just yet.
   Thread the 1/4″-20 screw through the flat washer, into the top hole of the bracket, and then into the jack nut. Follow the same steps to assemble the driver side bracket on the other side.
   REAR BRACKET ASSEMBLIES
   INSTALLING REAR BRACKETS TO NON-TRAIL AND TRAIL RAIL TRUCK BOXES

    SETTING HOOK AND LOOP FASTENER:

24. Note: Small wrinkles may be present after closing cover for first time. Remove wrinkles by pulling cover material from each side. For best results have cover unlatched. Relatch rear header after adjustments have been made.
    IMPORTANT: Before driving vehicle, secure hook and loop fastener by running your hand down entire length of each rail. This will prevent wind lifting the cover and causing damage.
    OPENING THE COVER:

25. 1. Open tailgate
    2. Pull latch on driver side to unlatch cover.
    3. Roll Cover to front and secure with retainer straps.
    

26. ROLL COVER TIGHT AND SECURE BOTH RETAINER STRAPS. DO NOT STOW COVER AGAINST CAB WINDOW.

    COVER TENSION ADJUSTMENT

27. EVER-TITE AUTOMATIC TENSION CONTROL

    • Spring plunger compensates for material expansion & contraction caused by temperature changes.
    • Check cover tension after installation, seasonally, and after extreme temperature changes.
    • For best performance, adjust tension regularly to protect your cover against wind wear.
      Set tension during WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. With cover closed, release hook and loop fastener from both side rails near cab. Check compression of both spring plungers against the front header per diagram. Roll cover open and make adjustments. Close cover and re-check adjustment. Repeat until satisfactory tension has been achieved.

2. Do not tie cargo to truck bed cover framework.
3. Never allow children or pets to occupy pickup box while cover is closed.
4. Cover is not airtight. Special care is required to keep cargo clean and dry.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Headers Will Not Latch
  • Check side rails to make sure they are level.
  • Make sure the rear header seal is not caught between side rail & rear header.
  • Check position of side rails on truck bed, they may be positioned incorrectly, see steps 13 thru 18
  • Make sure cover has proper tension. See Step 27.
• Side Rails Tilt Downward or Upward
  • Reposition clamp up or down, refer to steps 13 thru 18.
• Cover Leaks Water
  • Cover is not designed to be fully water tight.
  • Make sure clamps are tight and rails are positioned correctly.
  • Extra seal can be added to help block water intrusions.
• Top of Cover Pools Water
  • Water pooling is normal with fabric covers.
  • The cross tubes are not arched, therefore some water pooling may occur and is normal. This will not affect performance or the water management properties in this fabric.
  • Make sure cover is pulled tight on each side and automatic tension control is properly adjusted.
• Cover Rolls Up Crooked
  • Make sure control straps are evenly set. See Step 25.
• Cover Is Too Tight or Too loose
  • Make sure clamps are tight and rails are positioned correctly.
  • Make sure cover is pulled tight on each side and automatic tension control is properly adjusted.

COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Cover surface can be hand washed with mild soap and water or cleaned in a car wash. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue. Never use vinyl conditioners that contain silicon, petroleum, or citrus based products on your truck bed cover as they may crack and shrink the vinyl top surface. Do not use a power washer to clean cover. If a manual car wash is used do not aim the car wash and directly at the fabric’s top surface. This will damage the fibers.
2. It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
3. It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closures. Clean away any excess dirt or grime and lubricate with silicone spray. Ensure the latches move freely in and out to properly engage the side rail and provide performance with optimal security. Be careful not to over spray the cover.
4. Covers that are used frequently or are subject to vibrations and impacts from rough roadways can require adjustment.
