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. 4) as well.
Install the tailgate end of the pull strap to the underside
of the drivers side rail using the #8-32 x 3/4 machine
screw located at the tailgate end on the underside of
the rail.
STEP 5: INSTALL TAILGATE END OF PULL STRAP
HARDWARE USED:
PULL STRAP x 1
(TAILGATE END)
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. 7A)
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

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.
