Attach the “peel and stick” neoprene pads to bottom of all center supports / end supports.
2.
Install center supports on rails, positioning them in desired location along rails, then securely tighten the setscrews with
the included Allen wrench to secure center supports in position.
3.
Install end supports at each end of rails and position the rails in the desired location on truck bed.
Drill Mount install:
1.
Mark location of screw holes thru base of center supports and thru end supports.
2.
Remove rails and center punch hole locations. Drill pilot holes at each marked location using 1/8” diameter drill bit for
center support fasteners, and 1/4” diameter drill bit for the end support fastener holes.
3.
Coat bare edges of holes with rust inhibitor primer.
4.
Reposition rails on bed, aligning supports over pre-drilled pilot holes and secure rails to bed with included fasteners. Do
Not Over Tighten fasteners.
Stake Pocket Mount:
1.
If mounting end supports in stake pocket holes in bed, it may be necessary to cut tubing to the appropriate length to
position the end support fastener hole in the approximate center of each stake pocket opening.
2.
Once length adjustment is made, install 1/4-20 x 4-1/4” oval head machine screws thru end supports and thread included
wing nuts approximately 3/8” onto the machine screws (wings angled toward screw head).
3.
Position rails on bed guiding the ends of the machine screws with wing nuts attached into each stake pocket opening.
4.
Pull up on machine screw head to allow wing nuts to engage bottom edges of stake pockets, then tighten machine screws
by hand until heads of screws contact top of end supports.
5.
Secure center supports to bed per Drill Mount install steps above.
6.
After center supports are secured to bed, tighten machine screws in end supports securely using a large Phillips
screwdriver.
Note: if installing on fiberglass / composite plastic tonneau covers, the included self-tapping fasteners should not be used.
Replace with stainless machine screws of comparable size, fender washers and nylon lock nuts for a “drill thru”
installation.
