Locate the sweep seals (rubber weather strips) on the rails.
Open the provided 303 brand protectant sponge pack (fi nd
it adhered to the underside of the top cover) and wipe the
underside of the sweep seal and the top of the wear strip.
Carefully remove the ZIP tie securing the cover to the canister
we recommend using the wire cutters for this. Roll the handle
down into the ends of the rails and down to the tailgate. Using
an Allen wrench (if necessary) to carefully draw out the sweep
seal (seal should be angled outwards toward the cover – not
rolled in toward the bed rail).(Figure 5)
Proper care and placement of the sweep seal will ensure
smooth operation of the cover. Remove the protective foam
cover from the underside of the fabric panel. Remove the
protective fi lm from the inside back of the canister.
DO NOT ALLOW THE HANDLE TO ROLL INTO THE CANISTER AS PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR
TO THE FABRIC.

FIG.5
Side rails have a rubber spacer on the end caps, at the tailgate end, to establish the correct
spacing to the tailgate (1/16”) and to prevent the tailgate from striking the side rails when
closing. Press the rail tightly against the closed tailgate.
Shims may be required to maintain a horizontal top surface on the rails. Peel and stick
the shims to the back side of the rail
brackets (or the side that will be against
the truck).
Shims are provided in two thicknesses.
Shims may need to be stacked on each
other to create the right thickness.
Repeat the same process on each side.
Place the four (4) clamps over the
brackets located on the underside of
the rails.
Locate the UPPER groove of the inner
clamp bracket onto the lip of the rail
bracket (as shown in Figure 4).
Rotate the outer clamp bracket clockwise
to tighten rail downward against bed rail.
Tighten bolt securely.
Apply downward pressure while
tightening the clamps on the rails,
especially on the tailgate end. This will
ensure a tight seal, fi rm seat, and good fi t on the truck bed.
(Adjust pressure against tailgate by moving rails forward or backward as needed prior to fi nal
tightening of clamps.)
Repeat for all clamps.
