Prior to installation, unpack and inspect all parts and the Lazer Lite Tonneau Cover for signs of obvious damage.
An extra piece of rubber gasket material is included with your tonneau cover. Carefully clean the front rail of your truck bed box (using soap and water) and install the self adhesive strip across the entire width of the front rail as shown below. Cut the excess off with a razor blade or knife.
Line up Stainless Steel front "Female Hinges" with the front rail. Using steel bolts (supplied) and gold colored "Lobe Clamps", attach the female hinge to the bed of the truck.
Using a 7/16" wrench, tighten the bolts (yellow arrows) while ensuring the female hinge is pushed all the way forward and down against the front rail (green arrows).
Using the same wrench, attach the rear "Slam Mount Bracket".
Make sure the slam mount bracket is pushed all the way to the rear (green arrow) and then tighten the bolts (yellow arrows). Make sure the bolts for the slam latch are left "loose", (blue-arrows) they will be tightened later.
Using 2 people, lift the Lazer Lite tonneau cover up and insert the "Male Hinges" into the slots of the females hinges.
Using another person to help you, insert the tonneau cover into the opening of the female hinges. If it doesn't quite fit, loosen the nuts on the 'male' hinges and spread them out to the appropriate width.
Don't forget to re-tighten them!
Attach the "Gas Props" by snapping them on to the ball studs.
Here's a hint: Always install them so that the 'barrels' are on the top. This
allows the oil in the cylinder barrel to lubricate the shafts as they open and
close.
With the tailgate open, carefully shut the tonneau cover. Check the clearances and make sure the tonneau cover is centered. If it is not centered, loosen the appropriate set of bolts on the tonneau cover and re-center.
Adjust the height of the rear "strikes" so that the latch rods slide underneath them.
The strike can be moved, up or down, as shown by the yellow arrow and blue arrows. You can always adjust this later if it doesn't quite fit the first time. The latch can be moved in or out by loosening the nuts (red arrows).
When you've adjusted them, tighten all the bolts.
Please note: If you need to remove the gas props they are removed by simply sliding a flathead screwdriver behind the metal clip and prying upward a little bit. Don't pry to much, or the entire clip will snap off.
Try it out!
