| Installation
|
|
Step
one
With the tailgate closed, align
the side rails flush with the
pick up bed rails and level
with each other. Lightly compress
the “D” seal against the tailgate.
|
 |
With
2 clamps secure the rail to the
bedside one clamp at each end
of the rail.
|
 |
| For
best latching performance and
cover fit make sure the side rails
are level. Repeat this on the
passenger side. |
 |
Step
2
Install
underbody rails, fold back hinged
portion of side rails and stand
in side bed to install these
rails. Position the underbody
rails flush with the side rails.
Align weather seal so it is
slightly higher than the bed
side.Then clamp rails using
2 more clamps for each rail.
|
 |
Step
3
Assemble
side brackets to front cross
member. Insert square head bolts
into cross member channels,
lightly snug the bolts. Next
insert one square head bolt
into channel on each underbody
rail. |
 |
Step
4
With
the brackets bolted to the front
cross member. Align the front
cross member so it does not
touch the front of the bed.
Bolt the cross member to the
underbody rails using a flat
washer and a nut on each side.
|
 |
Step
5
Set the fabric cover assembly
on top of the side rails and fold
back the front side rails so they
rest on top of the fabric cover.
Insert bolts from fabric cover
into the hinged portion of the
side rails and secure with flat
washers and locking nuts. (2 on
each side). |
 |
Step
6
Carefully rotate the hinged portion
of the side rails to the closed
position. Watch the latch on the
fabric cover and the striker on
the front cross member to make
sure they line up. Once they line
up latch the cover closed and
tighten bolt on the front cross
member securing striker in place.
|
 |
Step
7
Square all 4 rails to each other
and tighten the 4 nuts holding
the fabric cover to the hinged
rails.
Step
8
Unroll cover over bed the cross
bows are attached to the fabric
cover, and will ride on the
side rails. |
 |
Step
9
Closing cover, with the cover
unrolled to the tailgate. Rotate
header into the header stops and
press down to lock toggle into
header. |
 |
| |
|
| Completion |
|
| Your
“Deuce” tonneau cover is now completely
installed. To open cover, drop
the tailgate and press the toggle
shown in picture 12, and roll
cover towards the front of the
bed. Or you can us the latch at
the front of the bed to access
the front without rolling the
cover up from the rear of the
bed. |
 |
Added
security features. At the front
crossmember there is a knob you
can position against the latch
so it will not open.
With knob against the lever this
will not allow the front of the
cover to open and if you have
a locking tailgate your bed is
now secure from the out side world.

The
features I like about this cover
are:
Installation was simple.
Easy access to the front of
the bed via the hinged side
rails.
Lo-profile design
Ease of rolling up the cover
to haul bulky items that do
not fit under the cover.
Locking knob to disable front
access and protect items in
the bed.
No drill installation.
Compliments look of the truck.
Added gas milage.
