STEP 1: BEDLINER MODIFICATION
Note: If the truck is equipped
with a plastic drop-in bedliner,
remove the bedliner and
tailgate panel for alterations.
If no bedliner is present,
proceed to Step 2.
A. Using a jig saw with a
medium tooth blade,
remove the bulkhead
portion of the liner as
indicated.

S TEP 2: INSTALL HOUSING SUPPORT BRACKETS
A. Locate “plugs” in
both sides near the
front corners and
remove
(Photo
2)
. If your bed has
a spray-on liner,
you can either cut
around the edge of
the “plug” so it can
be removed.
B. Insert 1/4-20 x
1 1/4" hex head bolt
(with flat washer)
through the hole in
the Bracket, thread
into the Mounting
Tang, and key the
retaining washer
onto the end of the
bolt
(Diagram 3) .
C. Insert the Tang into
the hole and position the Housing Support Bracket with the foam tape against the inside of
the bed rail, and with a flange overlapping the bulkhead. Tighten the 1/4-20 bolt securely,
making sure the top of the Bracket is even with the top of the bed rail
(Photo 4) .
D. With the Housing Support Bracket firmly secured, cover the seam between the front flange
edge and the bulkhead with a small piece of gasket tape which is supplied in the hardware
bag
(Photo 5) .

STEP 3: I NSTALL R EAR T RACK B RACKET A SSEMBLY
A. Insert 1/4-20 x 1 1/4" hex head bolt (with flat washer)
through the hole in the “back bed Bracket”, thread into
the Mounting Tang, and key the retaining washer onto
the end of the bolt
(Diagram 3) .
B. Insert the Tang into the rear bed wall hole (Photo 6)
and snug the 1/4-20 bolt. Positioning adjustments can
be made in
Step 5 “Install the Tracks”.
Note: The “back bed Bracket” must be
removed from the Tracks.
S TEP 4: INSTALL THE HOUSING
A. If desired, install the Stake-Pocket Hole Covers
where necessary
(Photo 7) .
B. Place the Housing Assembly onto the bedrails
(Photo 8). This is best accomplished with two
people.
Center it between the Housing Support
Brackets and leave about ½" of space between the
bulkhead and the back of the Housing. Do not fasten
the Housing in
place.
C. Lift the Lid on the Housing and lean it against the cab
(Photo 9).Place
a rag between the
Lid and cab to
prevent scratches.
S TEP 5: INSTALL THE TRACKS
A. Making sure to leave the Pull Strap connected
to the threaded shipping stud, rotate the Lock
Lever to the 10 o’clock position (Photo 10).
B. Remove the “L”-shaped sections of Clamps that
are taped to the bottoms of the Tracks (Photo 11).
Because these are location-specific, be sure to
lay them in the bed in the same order as you
remove them from the Tracks.

S TEP 5: INSTALL THE TRACKS (CONTINUED)
C. Carefully place
the Tracks on the
bedrails (Photo
12) and key them
onto the Housing
Stems (Diagram
13), being sure
that the Handle is
properly engaged
into the Tracks.
D. When placing
the Tracks,
align back
Track Clamps
over previously
attached back
bed Bracket and
insert a 1/4 - 28 x
1/2" socket head
machine screw
(with lock washer)
up through the
bottom of the
bed Brackets
and thread
into the Track
Clamp (Photo
14), leaving the
bed Bracket very
loose. Do not
tighten yet.
E. Use #10-24 x ½"
truss head screws
and Cargo Nuts to secure the Tracks to the Housing Stems (Photo 15).
F. Attach the remaining Clamps very loosely (Photo 16). Do not tighten yet.
S TEP 6: INSTALL THE TAILGATE EXTRUSION
A. Lower the tailgate
and, using a
tape measure,
locate and mark
the center of the
tailgate
(Photo 17) .
B. Using a tape
measure, locate
and mark the
center of the
Tailgate Extrusion
(Photo 17) .

STE P 7: ORIENTING THE TRACKS TO THE TAILGATE
A. Move to the front
of the bed, lift up
slightly on the
Housing and shift
each side back
toward the tailgate
(Photo 19) so that
the Track End
Caps contact the
inside surface
of the tailgate.
Make sure the Track End Cap metal blocks contact the
Tailgate Extrusion End Caps. (Diagram 20).
B. With the Tracks in the correct position, you may now
tighten the Clamps in the order shown (Diagram 21),
taking care to make sure the Tracks remain level.
Do not use a power or pneumatic screw gun.
Over tightening Tracklamps can cause an
indentation in the bedrails.
C. If you find that the Track is toed down after tightening
the Clamps it will be necessary to loosen the clamps
and utilize one of two of the supplied shims to
overcome this condition
(Diagram 22) . Note: Driver
and passenger side adjustments may not
necessarily be the same.
D. Please note the placement of the shim required to
pitch the Track up to its proper horizontal position.
This adjustment may require shimming of 1/16" or 1/8"
with the supplied shims. This may require a certain
amount of “trial & error” on the part of the installer to
achieve proper alignment (Diagram 22).
S TEP 6: INSTALL THE TAILGATE EXTRUSION
(CONTINUED)
C. While holding the Tailgate Extrusion square and centered on the tailgate, use a #8 x ¾"
self-tapping screw and power screw gun to secure the center hole
(Photo 18) . Next,
move to each end,
press the Tailgate Extrusion to the top of the tailgate in order
to make it conform to the contour of the tailgate, and secure it in place.
D. Install the remaining self-tapping screws, making sure to provide even spacing between
them.
E. With the Tailgate Extrusion secured, carefully close the Tailgate, being cautious not to
strike the ends of the Tracks.

S TEP 8: INSTALL CARGO SHIELD & DRAIN TUBES
A. Trim the track
gasket 1" from the
end of the Track
(Photo 23) .
B. Rotate the Lock
Lever to the 7
o’clock (closed)
position (Photo
24), then remove
the plastic wing
nut and detach the
Pull-Strap from
the threaded Stud
(Photo 25). Pull
the Cover closed
and latch it to the
tailgate. Note: Do
not allow the
Cover to retract
with-out the Lid
in place.
C. Before lowering
the Housing Lid, turn the Lid Pin Knobs ¼ turn
clockwise, which will cause the pins to pop in if they
are not already. Lower the Housing Lid, being sure that
the Lid Pins snap into the receptors located on the
Tracks
.
D. To open the Cover pull back slightly on the Handle
to relieve spring tension from the Latch Mechanisms
and turn the Lock Lever clockwise to the 10 o’clock
(unlatched) position.
E. Use 1/4-20 x 1/2" truss head screws and rubber
washers to secure the Cargo Shield
(Diagram 26) . Note: The rubber washers go on
the inside of the Cargo Shield.
F. Use 1/2" bit to drill holes for the drain tubes. Note that this process is easier if 1/4" pilot
hole is drilled first. The drain holes should be positioned in the center of the outermost bed
plugs
(Photo 27) .
G. Always make sure the Pull-Strap is securely clipped to a fixed point in the bed.

S TEP 10: OPENING AND CLOSING / ADJUSTING THE
HINGED LID
To Open:
A. Grasp the Latch Pin Knobs, pull out and turn knobs
90° to hold Pin in the unlock position.Grasp the Lid
and lift. Rest the Lid against the back of the cab to
hold open for service or cleaning
(Diagram 28) .
To Close:
A. Lower the Lid and return the Latch Pins to locked
position by turning the knobs 1/4 turn.
If Lid is loose:
A. Raise Lid and loosen the nylock nut on each Lid Latch
Bracket, move the top half of the Bracket one notch
toward the tailgate. Tighten both nuts and close Lid
(Diagram 29) .
If Lid is tight:
A. Raise Lid and loosen the nylock nut on each Lid
Latch Bracket, move the top half of the Bracket one
notch toward the Housing. Tighten both nuts and close Lid
(Diagram 29) . Repeat if futher
adjustments are needed.
S TEP 9: TEST UNIT OPERATION
In Step 9 the Cover was opened (retracted). This should have caused the Lock Lever to
enter the Lock Pocket and rotate to the 7 o’clock (latched) position.
A. To close the Cover, pull the Pull-Strap hand-over hand, allowing the excess strap to fall
into the bed until you can reach the Handle. Place your hands evenly spread on the Handle
and pull the Handle until it contacts the Tailgate Extrusion. As the Handle contacts the
Tailgate Extrusion the spring loaded Latches (which were energized when the Cover was
retracted) will automatically trip, simultaneously latching the Cover to the tailgate and side
Tracks.
B. To open the Cover, pull back slightly on the Handle to relieve spring tension from the
Latch Mechanisms and turn the Lock Lever clockwise to the 10 o’clock position. The
Cover should retract on its own with only a slight push to set it into motion. When the
Cover is retracting it is best to hold the Pull-Strap and allow it to slip through your fingers
as the Cover travels. Applying pressure to the Pull-Strap as it slips through your fingers
will act as a braking action, preventing the Handle from slamming into the Lid at high
speed. The Cover must retract with only enough force to rotate and reset the Lock Lever
and Latching Mechanism.
