STEP 5: INSTALLING CLAMPS
HARDWARE USED:
Install the rear clamps as shown (Figure 5A) using the OE holes at the rear of the truck
bed.
Locate the lower groove of rear clamp block onto the lip of the rail bracket.
Tighten against the truck bed rail.
The ¼-20 bolt at the top of the clamp can be used to level the rail by turning the bolt out to
apply pressure against the rail.
Tighten bolts securely. (Adjust pressure against tailgate by moving rails forward or
backward as needed prior to fi nal tightening of clamps.)
With rear clamps in place, make sure the canister is centered from side-to-side.
Using the two black screws provided, screw through the rails into the front rail block
(Figures 3A & 5B).
If needed, add shims (included) on front rail block to level the rails.

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.
