PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING MAY BE
REQUIRED. VERIFY BEDRAIL IS CORRECT LENGTH TO COVER STAKE POCKETS
BEFORE CUTTING!

2. On models with factory equipped plastic bedside covers, determine if there is a separate
removable cover over each of the stake pockets.

a. On vehicles with removable covers: Remove the small plastic cover over each stake

pocket, (Figure 1).

b. On vehicles without removable covers: Locate the center of the stake pocket.

Carefully cut or drill a small opening in the plastic cover in the center of the stake
pocket. WARNING, verify exact location of stake pocket before drilling/cutting plastic
cover or damage to top of bedside may result. Gradually enlarge the opening to the size
of the stake pocket only, (Figure 2). IMPORTANT, DO NOT cut along factory lines
molded into the plastic cover as these lines may not represent the correct location or
size of the stake pocket and may be larger than the actual stake pocket opening.

3. Attach (1) 10mm Bolt, (1) 10mm Flat Washer, and (1) Threaded Bracket to each end of Bed
Rail as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: Depending upon your vehicle, use the correct size
Threaded Bracket. For small stake pockets, use the parallelogram-shaped bracket, (Figure
4A) and for larger stake pockets use the rectangular-shaped bracket, (Figure 4B). Leave
hardware loose.

4. Position the Bed Rail onto the top of the bed. Attach the front of the Bed Rail by tilting the Bolt
until one side of the Bracket engages, (Figure 4A & 4B). Once you engage one side of
Bracket, slide Bracket into stake pocket until opposite side of Bracket engages on the opposite
side of stake pocket. Before tightening, engage the rear end of Bed Rail. Repeat this step to
engage rear end of Bed Rail.

5. To tighten the Brackets, pull up on one end of the Bed Rail and make sure the Bracket is
engaged and centered. Keep pulling up on the Bed Rail to prevent Bracket from
moving/rotating while tightening the Mounting Bolt. Tighten the front until it is snug but do not
fully tighten at this time, (Figure 5A & 5B). Repeat this Step to install the rear of the Bedrail.
Once properly centered and aligned, fully tighten both Mounting Bolts.

6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 for opposite side Bed Rail installation.

7. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.

To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to

add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives
that could damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish.
Mild soap may be used also to clean the Bedrails.
