Step 5: installing clamps, Step 4: install tailgate end of pull strap, Step 6: lubricating & placing the sweep seals – Pace-Edwards JR Series Isuzu D-Max XSB User Manual
Page 4: Do not tighten over 120-inch pounds

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. Establish the correct spacing 
(1/16”) to prevent the tailgate from striking the side rails when closing. 
Place the four clamps (Figure 6) over the rail brackets located on the underside of the rails 
and snug up but do not tighten all the way yet. 
Measure the distance between the 
rails at the canister and tailgate. 
This distance should be 50-5/16” +/- 
1/8” to allow your cover to operate 
properly. Use plastic shim between 
the bracket and truck bed rail if 
necessary. 
Once everything is square tighten 
the Rail clamps completely.

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. 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
