3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your tonneau cover. It is recommended to have a second person assist with the installation.

3.1 Pre-Installation Steps

• Clean Truck Bed Rails: Ensure the truck bed rails are clean and free of debris, wax, or any protective coatings that might interfere with the adhesive seals.
• Measure Truck Bed Length: Accurate measurement of your truck bed is essential to ensure compatibility and proper fit.

3.2 Rail Installation

1. Position the side rails along the truck bed rails, ensuring they are flush and level.
2. Secure the rails using the provided clamps. Start from the middle and work your way towards the front and rear, ensuring even pressure.
3. Apply the bulkhead seal if your truck bed does not have a drop-in bed liner covering the bulkhead. Position it carefully to ensure a watertight seal.

3.3 Cover Placement

1. Carefully place the tonneau cover assembly onto the installed rails at the bulkhead end.
2. Align the cover with the rails and ensure it sits squarely on the truck bed.
3. Secure the cover to the rails according to the specific instructions in the hardware kit, typically involving tightening bolts or latches.
