5.
Thread the supplied rope in and out of all the eyelets and tie each end off behind the front eyelet on both
sides.
6.
Slide the front of the Tonneau cover through the aluminum rope track section. Neatly spread the Tonneau
cover over the support bar/s, so it is centered and fully covers the tray.
7.
To fit the rope buttons. Start with the rear centre eyelet, ensure the Tonneau cover is centred and taught
(this is critical). Vertically line up each rope button individually to the centre between two eyelets (Fig 1).
With a marking pencil make a mark at the height you would like the rope buttons (the continuous rope has a
lot of stretch and can be adjusted to suit different rope button heights).
8.
This mark is the place to drill a hole and secure the first button with a pop rivet. Measure the distance
between the top of the tailgate to the button and use this measurement to repeat the process for the
remaining buttons on the tailgate, alternating from one side to the other. Secure the Tonneau cover to the
tailgate using the continuous rope as the rope buttons are fitted. At the corners of the tray, fit the button
directly under the last eyelet on the side / back (Fig 2).
9.
To fit buttons to the sides of the tray, work from the rear towards the front, alternate from one side of the
vehicle to the other. Line up each rope button (except the rear corners) between two eyelets. Measure down
the same distance used on the rear tailgate of the tray and mark with pencil. Drill and rivet rope button into
position. Secure the Tonneau cover to the vehicle’s sides as the rope buttons are fitted.
10.
To tension the rope, start at the front driver’s side of the car. Pull the continuous rope taught around the rope
button and feed the excess rope towards the rear of the tray. Continue to tension the rope around the
buttons around the tray towards the front passenger side. Feed all the excess rope back through the eyelets
until the rope is taught, not tight on all of the rope buttons. At the front passenger side, undo the knot in the
end of the rope, and re-position it just behind the final eyelet on the cover. The excess rope can be cut off
behind this knot, or tucked into the tray for adjustment later.
11.
Note: for Tonneaus with a front corner triangle sewn into the front LHS and RHS corners, squeeze the bunji
loop together and make a mark 5mm below its lowest point. This is the height the rope button should be
positioned at. Gauge the most suitable point for the button to be positioned (this can change depending on
the tray make). Drill and rivet the rope button into position and attach bunji loop.
