Perrycraft Aventura Truck Bed Rails - Manual

3) Install end supports to side rails using the #8 x 5/8
self-threading screws. Do not tighten screws
completely at this point.

Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Do not use the mounting hardware contained in this unit to install rails on Fiberglass or Composite
Plastic surfaces. Supplemental hardware pack, part# HWAVTC-UV, is required for installing rails on such non-
metal surfaces. Please contact the Distributor from whom the unit was purchased or contact the Perrycraft
Customer Service Dept at 800-777-7081 to obtain the necessary supplemental hardware pack if installing these
roof rails on a Fiberglass or Composite Plastic surface.
CONTENTS: 2 - side rails, 2 - Left end supports and mating covers; 2 - Right end supports and mating covers;
Center Support Posts: 2-posts in 68" & 78" Roof Rails, 4-posts in 88" Roof Rails and all Bed Rails;
1 – hardware pack (Containing 4-#8x5/8” self-threading screws; 12-#10x3/4” waxed-tip pan head
screws; 4-1/4” Stainless Steel Flat Washers; #10x1” Waxed-tip Oval-head Screws: 2-screws in
68" & 78" Roof Rails, 4-screws in 88" Roof Rails and all Bed Rails; and 1-instruction sheet).
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver; electric drill; 1/8” drill bit; center punch; pencil or marker.
For Truck Bed Rail installation, skip to Step 2.
1) As “universal” Roof Rails are designed to fit several different vehicles, the “bow / curvature” of the side rails
may not exactly match the roof contour of a particular vehicle. NOTE: The rails should be “dry fit” to the
roof panel before installing. Carefully place one of the rails (without end supports or center support posts)
on the vehicle roof in the approximate location to be installed. The curvature of the rail should approximate
the roof contour. If rail is under-curved and there is more than a 3/16” space between the ends of the rail
and the vehicle roof panel, or over-curved and there is more than a 3/16” space between the center of the
rail and the roof panel, “bench adjusting” the curvature of the rails is required. Adjust by suspending the rail
between two points (4x4 wooden blocks, two tables, etc). To increase the curvature, start with the rail upside
down; to decrease the curvature, start with the rail right side up (see appropriate illustration below). With
hands spaced shoulder-width apart, apply sufficient pressure to the rail to increase or decrease the curvature
as desired. Repeat this process for both rails.
Important Note: While made of extruded aluminum, the rails are heat-treated for added strength.
Therefore, several applications of adequate “springing” pressure may be required to modify the curvature
of the rails.
2) Slide center posts into groove on bottom
of rails (applicable only on rails of 68” or
longer).
