Setup and Installation
No drilling or additional modifications are required for installation. The process is designed to be straightforward.
1. Verify Truck Bed Length
Before installation, accurately measure your truck bed length from the bulkhead (front of the bed) to the tailgate. This cover is specifically designed for 5.5 FT (66 inch) beds.

Important: This product is not compatible with CarbonPro beds or factory side storage box beds, as installation may interfere with electric tailgates or Multi-Flex tailgates.

2. Position the Tonneau Cover
Carefully place the tonneau cover onto the truck bed rails, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the front of the bed. Unfold the cover completely to check for proper fitment along all sides.

3. Secure the Clamps
Once the cover is properly aligned, secure it using the provided clamps. The first set of clamps are typically fixed and located near the bulkhead. The subsequent clamps are quick-release levers for easy access.
- Fixed Clamps: Attach and tighten the fixed clamps at the front of the bed. Ensure they are firm but do not overtighten.
- Quick-Release Clamps: Engage the quick-release levers along the sides of the bed. These clamps provide a secure hold and allow for rapid opening and closing of the cover.

Operating Instructions
To Open (Roll Up) the Cover:
- Release the quick-release clamps located along the sides of the truck bed.
- Begin rolling the cover towards the cab of the truck. The built-in horizontal bars will assist in a smooth roll.
- Once fully rolled, secure the cover using the integrated straps or buckles near the cab to prevent it from unrolling during transit.
