INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1

1. Attach both left and right side rails to the truck bed.  The end of the mounting rail with the drain tube fitting 

will go towards the cab of the truck, position flush to bulkhead.

2. Position the top edge of the mounting rail flush to the top edge of your truck bed rail. 

3. Using three (3) clamps per side attach the rail to the bed, position the clamps adjacent to each of the black 

rail spacers. Attach the clamp force spreader to the rear clamps on each side, inset photo. (Tip: Mount the 

center clamp first but do not tighten completely.  This will give you the ability to adjust the rail as the outer 

clamps are attached)  

4. Tighten the clamps using a 1/2” socket. Install the bulkhead seal to the top of the front rail of the truck bed 

and cut to length.

Clamps must be checked 

periodically for tightness. Failure to do so 

could result in damage to you or your 

property.
