Positioning Side Rails
Align the inside edge of the side rail to the inner edge of the truck bed rail. Then,
leaving approximately 6”- 8" of space on each end, evenly space the clamps
provided along the side rail. Make sure the side rails are placed so that the
distance from the tailgate is equal on both sides.

the side rails and the direction of the crossbar is arched upward. (Fig 1a, Fig 2a,
Fig 3a).

6TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Latch pops up easily
2. Latching system is
jammed
3. Water pooling on the
cover
4. Cover appears to be
a little short
5. Front bed rail is
lower than the sides
6. Maintenance & care
►Check Fig 4a to see if the horizontal gap
between the locking clip and the side rail is
under 1/16 inches.
►Make sure cover is latched down prior to
closing the tailgate.
►Check if the cover is properly attached to the
Velcro strips on the side rails; cover must be
latched down first prior to sealing the Velcro
strips on both sides.
►Check STEP 2, make sure the side rails are
placed so that the distance from the tailgate is
equal on both sides.
►It's suggested when unlatching the cover, to
use one hand to push down on the cover while
pulling on the latch cable on either side for an
easier release, this will reduce the wear and
tear of the latching system.
►Adjust the tension plate towards the bulk-
head if the cover seems too tight.
►Check STEP 2, make sure the side rails are
placed so that the distance from the tailgate is
equal on both sides.
►Cover should appear slightly arched as in Fig
3a; make sure the ends of the crossbars are
resting on the side rails (Fig 1a, Fig 2a).
►Make sure side rails are positioned properly,
not too far from the tailgate, check STEP 2.
►Move the whole cover assembly towards the
tailgate, while making sure it's properly sealed
at the front.
►Some specific truck models have lower front
bed rail. Apply front seal strip provided to the
front bed rail to seal the gap.
►Use regular soap and water, avoid using
strong abrasive chemical cleaners.
