Front Weather Seal Installation Steps:

The next installation steps will use the foam blocks out of hardware bag 1118547.

Weather Seal Installation for Trucks With and Without Trail Rails:

  1. It is important that all areas where the bed cover mounts are clean and free of debris prior to installing.
  2. Install the bulkhead seal supplied in the shipping box. Position bulkhead seal flush with the inside edge of the bulkhead, on the inside of the truck bed.
  3. Apply foam block seal to the driver and passenger side front bulkhead corners.

Attention: The next installation steps will show how to install the front mounting brackets and hardware for trucks with the old bulkhead and new bulkhead configuration. The front brackets will work for both the Trail Rail and Non-Trail Rail Cargo Management System for Jeep Gladiator's.

NOTE: The front bracket installation will require identifying the bulkhead mounting hole configuration of your truck. This will determine which hardware packages to use.

Old Hole Attachment Configuration:

Manufactured before July 2020. Features Round Hole and Threaded Hole.

New Hole Attachment Configuration:

Manufactured After July 2020. Features Hexagon Hole and No Threaded Hole.

Front Brackets and Hardware Needed for Trail Rail and Non-Trail Rail Truck Beds:

Trucks Built Before July 2020 (Use Hardware Bag 1118538):

Trucks Built After July 2020 (Use Hardware Bag 1706541):

Bulkhead Hole Configuration of Trucks Built Before July 2020. To Insert Jack Nuts See Step Five On Next Page.

Bulkhead Hole Configuration of Trucks Built After July 2020.

Step 4: Bracket to front bulkhead assembly configuration for trucks built before July 2020. Use hardware bag 1118538.

Assemble front bracket to the bulkhead as shown (driver side shown). Leave all fasteners fingertight at this time.

Assemble the passenger side bracket to the bulkhead using the same method and hardware provided in hardware bag 1118538.

ATTENTION: If needed, clean out the threaded holes in the pickup bed with an m8 tap before installing fasteners.

Step 5: Bracket To Front Bulkhead Assembly Configuration for Trucks Built After July 2020. Use Hardware From Bag 1706541.

Insert the jack nut into the upper hexagonal hole. Next, insert the 1/4-20 screw through the jack nut installation tool and thread into the jack nut. Use the install wrench to hold the jack nut from turning while tightening the bolt with a wrench socket. This will pull and collapse the jack nut. Once the screw has stopped turning, remove it for installation at a later step.

Seeing the jack nut from behind is difficult, but it will collapse as shown.

Thread the buttonhead screw through the #10 oversize washer, through the bottom hole in the bracket, through the flat washer, and into the well nut.

Note: Assemble just until contact is made, do not tighten fasteners just yet.

Thread the 1/4"-20 screw through the flat washer, into the top hole of the bracket, and then into the jack nut. Follow the same steps to assemble the driver side bracket on the other side.

Side Rails and Hardware Needed for Trail Rail and Non-Trail Rail Truck Beds:

Side Rail Attachment Hardware, Use Hardware Bag 1118540:

B: Driver Side Rail

C: Passenger Side Rail

Attention: After proper alignment, the outer edge of the side rail will sit on top of the truck bed rail.

Installing Side Rails for Both the Trail Rail and Non-Trail Rail Truck Beds:

Step 13: Locate the Mounting hole in rail at the front. Proceed by lining up that hole with the slot in the front bracket from step 5 and assemble hardware as shown.

Step 14: Locate the Mounting hole in rail at the rear. Proceed by lining up the mounting hole with the slot in rear bracket from step 4 and assemble hardware as shown.

Step 15: For proper side rail fit to the truck box, apply downward pressure on the rail and pull the rail towards the outside of the bed while tightening the screw. This will assure the rail is positioned correctly. Tighten this screw.

Step 16: Apply downward pressure on the rail and pull towards the outside of the bed while tightening the screw to hold rail down on the bracket. Tighten this screw.

Step 17: While tightening the two front fasteners securing the bracket to the bulkhead, apply downward pressure on the rail and the bracket to compress the side rail seal. Tighten these fasteners.

Step 18: Apply downward pressure on the rail and the bracket, to compress the rail seal, then tighten the rear fasteners. Tighten this screw.

Installing Cover Assembly:

Step 19: Set cover assembly across cab end of side rails. Insert square head cap screws through slots in side rails. Secure with plastic washers and lock nuts. Finger tighten.

Hardware needed to attach the cover assembly to the side rails can be found in the main hardware bag 1118537.

Step 20: Tighten 3/8" lock nut. Do not overtighten. Header must be free to slide back and forth.

Closing the Cover:

Step 21: Unhook and roll cover to the tailgate.

Step 22: Close tailgate, then cover.

Step 23: NOTE: If you have a locking tailgate, truck bed cover is secured until tailgate is unlocked and opened.

Secured if toggle position looks like this.

Setting Hook and Loop Fastener:

Step 24: Note: Small wrinkles may be present after closing cover for first time. Remove wrinkles by pulling cover material from each side. For best results have cover unlatched. Relatch rear header after adjustments have been made.

IMPORTANT: Before driving vehicle, secure hook and loop fastener by running your hand down entire length of each rail. This will prevent wind lifting the cover and causing damage.

Opening the Cover:

Step 25: 1. Open tailgate. 2. Pull latch on driver side to unlatch cover. 3. Roll Cover to front and secure with retainer straps.

For cover to roll up evenly, make sure control straps are evenly spaced on driver and passenger side.

Cover Security:

Step 26: CAUTION / ATTENTION / PRECAUCIÓN

ROLL COVER TIGHT AND SECURE BOTH RETAINER STRAPS. DO NOT STOW COVER AGAINST CAB WINDOW.

Before driving with cover open, BOTH STRAPS MUST BE SECURED TO RETAINING LOOPS. Failure to do so could cause accidental release of the cover, resulting in personal injury or property damage.

Cover Tension Adjustment:

Step 27: EVER-TITE™ AUTOMATIC TENSION CONTROL

Set tension during WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. With cover closed, release hook and loop fastener from both side rails near cab. Check compression of both spring plungers against the front header per diagram. Roll cover open and make adjustments. Close cover and re-check adjustment. Repeat until satisfactory tension has been achieved.

NOTE: Adjust tension in small increments. Slight adjustments will gain significant results.

COVER TOO LOOSE: TURN SPRING PLUNGER SCREW CLOCKWISE

CORRECT TENSION: DURING WARMEST PART OF DAY (no less than 1/16")
