80mm Rectangular Threaded Plates

10-1.50mm x 50mm Allen Head Bolts

50mm Parallelogram Threaded Plates

Flat Washers
PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING MAY BE
REQUIRED. VERIFY BEDRAIL IS CORRECT LENGTH TO COVER STAKE POCKETS
BEFORE CUTTING!
2. On models with factory equipped plastic bedside covers, determine if there is a separate
removable cover over each of the stake pockets.
a. On vehicles with removable covers: Remove the small plastic cover over each stake
pocket, (Figure 1).
b. On vehicles without removable covers: Locate the center of the stake pocket.
Carefully cut or drill a small opening in the plastic cover in the center of the stake
pocket. WARNING, verify exact location of stake pocket before drilling/cutting plastic
cover or damage to top of bedside may result. Gradually enlarge the opening to the size
of the stake pocket only, (Figure 2). IMPORTANT, DO NOT cut along factory lines
molded into the plastic cover as these lines may not represent the correct location or
size of the stake pocket and may be larger than the actual stake pocket opening.
3. Attach (1) 10mm Bolt, (1) 10mm Flat Washer, and (1) Threaded Plate to each end of Bed Rail
as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: Depending upon your vehicle, use the correct size Threaded
Plate. For small stake pockets, use the parallelogram-shaped plate, (Figure 4A). For larger
stake pockets, use the rectangular-shaped plate, (Figure 4B). Leave hardware loose.
4. Position the Bed Rail onto the top of the bed. Attach the front of the Bed Rail by tilting the Bolt
and/or Bedrail until one side of the Plate engages the lip on the pocket, (Figure 4A & 4B).
Once one side of the Threaded Plate is in place under the lip, slide the Plate completely into
the stake pocket until the opposite end of the Plate is clear and is in place across the pocket.
Repeat this Step to install the remaining end of the Bed Rail.
5. To tighten the Threaded Plates, start at the front and pull up on the Bed Rail to hold the plate
in place and centered across the pocket. Keep pulling up on the Bed Rail to prevent the Plate
from moving/rotating while tightening the Mounting Bolt. Tighten the Bolt until it is snug but do
not fully tighten at this time, (Figure 5A & 5B). Repeat this Step to tighten the rear Bolt on the
Bedrail. Once properly centered and aligned, fully tighten both Mounting Bolts.
6. Repeat Steps 2 –5 for opposite side Bed Rail installation.
7. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to
add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives
that could damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish.
Mild soap may be used also to clean the Bedrails.
