Pace-Edwards JR Series Toyota Tundra StepSide - Manual (Page 5)

Side rails have a rubber spacer on the end caps, at the tailgate end, to establish the correct
spacing to the tailgate (1/16”) and to prevent the tailgate from striking the side rails when
closing. Press the rail tightly against the closed tailgate.
Shims may be required to maintain a horizontal top surface on the rails. Peel and stick the
shims to the back side of the rail brackets (or the side that will be against the truck).
Shims are provided in two thicknesses. Shims may need to be stacked on each other to
create the right thickness. Repeat the same process on each side.
Place the four clamps (Fig. 7A) over the rail brackets located on the underside of the rails.
Locate the LOWER groove of inner clamp bracket onto the lip of rail bracket.
Rotate the outer clamp bracket clockwise to tighten rail downward against bed rail.
Tighten bolt securely.
(Adjust pressure against tailgate by moving rails forward or backward as needed prior to
fi nal tightening of clamps.)
Repeat for all clamps.
Ensure that the canister is snug up against the front sill of the truck bed. At this time you
need to completely tighten the Canister stop (Installed in Step 3, Fig. 3A) as well.

Locate the sweep seals (rubber weather strips) on the rails.
Open the provided 303 brand protectant sponge pack (fi nd
it adhered to the underside of the top cover) and wipe the
underside of the sweep seal and the top of the wear strip.
Extend the cover to the tailgate. Use an Allen wrench if
needed to carefully draw out the sweep seal (seal should be
angled outwards toward the cover – not rolled in toward the
bed rail). (Fig. 8A)
Proper care and placement of the sweep seal will ensure
smooth operation of the cover. Alcohol, petroleum based or
silicon-based cleaners such as Armor-All
® should be avoided
and ARE NOT recommended for our covers
