Setting The Hook and Loop Before Operating Vehicle.

Engaging Hook and Loop, Step Two:

 

With the cover 

closed and both hook and loop engaged, use 
the palms of your hand to firmly push the loop 
strip into the hook track. Do this to both driver 
and passenger side up and down the entire 
length of the loop seams.

Engaging  Hook  and  Loop,  Step  One:

 

After  rolling 

the cover closed, grab the fabric loop flap and 
evenly pull loop over the hook track engaging 
the  loop  to  the  hook  track.

 

Avoid  pulling 

fabric flap straight up. 

IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS CONTINUED:

HEADER WILL NOT LATCH:

  

1. Check side rails to make sure they are level.

2. Make sure the rear header seal is not caught between side rail & rear header.

3. If rear header doesn't latch correctly check side rail installation.

4. Check to make sure side rails are both equally spaced front to rear. 

 

  

5. Make sure both latches are functioning properly. Clean any debris that may be impeding latches, see  

  COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE on page 6. 

6. Close tailgate first then cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

COVER IS HARD TO ROLL OPEN OR CLOSED:

        

1. 

Truck bed cover MUST be free of foreign material including snow and ice before rolling cover.

2. Prolong cold weather will make cover fabric stiff. Move cover into sun or indoors to warm the top surface.
3. It is normal for the cover to experience light binding after being rolled up for an extended period of time.  
  Once the cover is latched, the fabric will relax and the cover will lay flat.  

COVER ASSEMBLY WILL NOT ATTACH TO SIDE RAILS DURING INSTALLATION:

  

1.  Check side rails to make sure they are level.
2.  The rolled up cover is heavy which may be flexing the rails downward. Push front of rails up slightly to 

allow the screw heads to fall in the slots and the header guides to slide freely into the secured location 
(review step 9).

3.   If rear header doesn't latch correctly check side rail installation.
