STEP 4: INSTALLING RAILS
The machined end of the rail attaches to the
canister.
You will need to lift the hanging portion of the
ribbed blanket and thread it in the rail while sliding
the rail into the rail grip mounted to the ends of
the canister (the underside of the blanket ribs
need to nest on the gear).
Make sure both fl anges of rail slide into the rail
grip.
Push the rails forward against the canister.
Complete for both left and right rails.
Remove the support or stand and lower the
canister and rail assembly onto the front sill and
rails of the truck bed.
Slide the entire canister and rail assembly forward
against the cab end of the truck bed.
Close the tailgate and pull the rails only toward it leaving approximately 1/8” gap between the end of the rails and
the tailgate.
Be sure to hold the canister in place to ensure it does not move from the front truck bed sill with the rails while
adjusting the gap of the rails to the tailgate.

Place the four clamps (Figure 6) over the rail brackets located on the underside of the rails
and tighten securely.
Locate the LOWER groove of the inner clamp bracket onto the lip of rail bracket.
Rotate the outer clamp bracket
clockwise to tighten rail downward
against bed rail.
With the tailgate closed, slide the rails
to establish the correct spacing to
the tailgate. The rails have a rubber
spacer on the end caps, at the tailgate
end, to establish the correct spacing
(1/16”) and to prevent the tailgate from
striking the side rails when closing.
Press the rail tightly against the closed
tailgate.
Measure the distance between the
rails at the canister and tailgate. This
distance should be the same to allow
your cover to operate properly. Once
everything is square tighten the Rail
clamps completely.
