Part 2 of 4: Installing the hood/cover on the truck

Having all the necessary tools and materials in place before starting work will allow you to get the job done more efficiently.

Necessary materials

• C - clamps
• Set of drills
• Electric or air drill
• SAE/Metric socket set
• SAE wrench set/metric
• Safety glasses
• Wheel chocks

Part 3 of 4: Car preparation

Step 1: Park your vehicle on a level, firm surface.. Make sure the transmission is in park (for automatic transmission) or 1st gear (for manual transmission).

Step 2: Install wheel chocks around the rear wheels, which will remain on the ground. In this case, the wheel chocks will be located around the front wheels, since the rear of the car will be raised. Apply the parking brake to block the rear wheels from moving.

Part 4 of 4: Installing the hood/cover on the truck bed

Step 1: Get help, lift the lid/cover and place it on the truck bed. Open the back door to access the inside of the cover. If your hat/cover comes with protective liners (a rubber pad that goes under the cover to protect the bed from scratches).

• Attention: If you need to install the cap/cap by yourself, you can use the four strap lifter to help lift the cap. Do not try to lift the cover yourself.

Step 2: Take four C-clamps and place one on each corner of the cap/cap. Take a marker and mark where you want to bolt the cover/cover to secure it to the bed.

Step 3: Get a drill and bits suitable for the bolts you wish to install. Drill holes in the cap/cover mounting surface.

Step 4: Insert the bolts into the holes and fit the locknuts. Tighten the nuts by hand, then a further 1/4 turn. Do not overtighten the bolts or they will crack the cap/cap.

Step 5: Close the tailgate and rear window. Take a water hose and spray on the lid/cap to make sure the seal is tight and not leaking. If there are any leaks, you need to check the tightness of the bolts and check the seal to make sure it doesn't kink, creating a gap under the cap/cap.
