cover comes with everything needed to make installation quick and hassle-free
this includes the cover itself side rails cab and tail rails bows clamps and
hardware start by removing one corner from the cab rail and then feeding the
tarp dowel
into the cab rail
it's best to do this on a flat smooth surface
when finished you can then reinsert and lock the corner piece back into the cab
rail
next roll up the cover and secure it with the attached velcro straps
now it's time to lay out all of the frame rails on an open flat surface
connect the side rails to the cabin end rails using the spring-loaded corners
for the next step you may want to grab a buddy because you'll need to place the
entire assembled frame over the bed with the rail set in place you can now
install the clamps attach the upper portion of the clamps to the rail as
shown here we've included stickers on the side rails to show you the exact
location for each clamp then add the u-shaped portion of the clamp underneath
the bed rail and attach to the side rail clamp with an Allen bolt use the
included allen wrench to tighten repeat this step for all of the clamps for most
Short bed applications you'll have three clamps long bed truck covers will come
with four clamps now you're ready for the bows the bows are labeled with
their intended location you can insert the bows into the top or bottom peg on
the side rails depending on your preference the top peg is often the
choice for performance while the bottom peg is usually the desired option for
enhanced loads
now you can unroll the tarp and snap it into place
starting at the corner
remember our Summit Racing tonneau cover comes with weather adjustable snaps you
can orient them with the studs down to accommodate additional tarp slack during
the warm summer months or place the snaps with the studs up for the cold
winter months so the installation took about 30 minutes and our Summit Racing
