Remove the trio of factory bolts that run under the bed rail along the
length of the driver-side cargo bed wall using a T30 Torx wrench.
Repeat steps 1–2 on the passenger side.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
It’s possible for one person to install a DiamondBack solo, but the whole
process, especially positioning the panels and adjusting the lock
rods, is much easier with two people.
If you are installing a
cab guard
or
headache rack
, you should
mount it prior to mounting your DiamondBack cover. Refer to its
installation guide for details.
