INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Locate the sweep seals (rubber weather strips) on the rails.
Apply Pace Edwards’ UV Protectant (or 303 brand protectant)
to a rag 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. 6A)
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

For models with a fl ush-sided box such as StepSide trucks or Utility box, attach rails using TR1010 clamp and
self-tapping screw front and rear on rail in Figure 5D.
You will still need to shim the rails as shown in Figure 5A.
When installing the clamp, compress the rail and foam. Pull the clamp downward as tight as possible.
You may need to give the clamp and rail a twist as you tighten the screw all the way down to ensure the rail stays
level with side of the truck bed.
