1. Preparing RV Rail for Mounting Rail.
A . If the RV does not have a factory installed RV Rail or RV Rail is badly damaged, it is necessary to install a
new one where you are going to install the Slide Out Cover. Install the RV Rail above the slide out as far as
you can. Dura-Bilt supplies RV Rail with every Slide Out Cover that has the correctly oriented opening for
the Mounting Rail. Caulk the back side of the RV Rail and install #12 x 1-1/2” Hex Screws in every hole.
B. If the RV has RV Rail make sure the RV Rail is clear of dirt and debris , it may be necessary to loosen the
fasteners along the RV Rail; this will allow you to slide the Mounting Rail on easier. Leave fasteners loose
until instructed to tighten.
2 . References made to the left and right ends of the Slide Out Cover are determined when viewed facing the
RV.
3 . Because there are various styles of RV Rails it may be necessary to shim the Mounting Rail. See
drawings above. Shim material is not provided with the Slide Out Cover. Caution! Make sure that when
you have completed this step that the Mounting Rail is below horizontal or water will run back to RV wall and
cause leaking.

Note: If you must shim the Mounting Rail, you should replace the #12 x 1-1/2” screws provided with
new screws of an appropriately longer length.
