STEP 5: INSTALLING THE TOP COVER
Shut the tailgate and pull the rails back until the tailgate cap seals have good engagement with
your tailgate. A good way to check for proper engagement is to make sure the bottom cap and
tailgate have 1/4” gap
(FIG 5A).

Another way to set the tailgate cap seals is to use
the Tailgate Seal Gauge as shown in figure 5B &
5C. You should be able to just slide the Tailgate
Seal Gauge in between the Tailgate Cap Seal and
the Bottom Cap.
WARNING: Proper Tailgate Cap Seal
Engagement is important for getting the best
possible water resistance out of your cover!
