Your installation is a "NO-DRILL" installation. The Nissan Titan Tonneau Cover requires no drilling and just a couple of simple hand tools to install.
These instructions are available, in color, at:

This is the standard installation for a Utili-Track system on your Nissan Titan.
If your Nissan Titan Tonneau Cover came with the rubber bulb seal in the box and not attached, install that first.
1. We'll start by learning how to insert the "spring nuts" into the utilitrack. Push the spring nuts into the utilitrack as shown below:
They should somewhat 'snap' into place. After they have been inserted, you can move them by pushing in slightly and sliding them to their proper locations.
2. Attaching the front "female" hinges:
Two spring nuts per side are needed. The spring nuts are located approx 1 1/2" and 4 1/2" from the ends of the front rail shown in the picture below. (Note-the dimensions given are to the edge of the spring nuts, not the center!)
The picture above is for the driver's side of your Nissan Titan. Do the same for the passenger side.
3. Attach the front female hinges with the 1" bolts and washers. Make sure the female hinge is pushed down to sit flush with the top of the front rail.
4. Measure between the slots and compare that measurement to the distance between the male hinges on the tonneau cover. You may need to widen or narrow the male hinges on the tonneau cover to get them to fit in the slots. Make sure the bolts are tight. (Double check the distance between the slots and compare to the male hinges!)
5. The rear brackets are installed in much the same way. You don't need to
measure anything, just make sure you are using the correct holes on the bracket
(red arrows) and that it is 'butted up" to the rear of the side utilitrack
(green arrows).
Leave the nuts (yellow arrows) on the strike loose- we'll adjust them later. You may need to slide the spring nuts around until they match up with the holes. Make sure you tighten the bolts!
6. Now the fun part:
You're almost done!
Get another person to help you and lift the tonneau cover onto the truck, making sure the male hinges go into the slots on the female hinge:
7. Attach the gas props. They just snap on to the 'ball studs'.
(Tip: the thick end is always 'up' this
allows the oil in the barrel to keep the shaft lubricated)
8. With the tailgate open, close the tonneau cover.
Check over the clearances on the outside of your truck bed to see if your tonneau cover is centered. If your new tonneau cover is not centered, disconnect the gas props (with a flat-head screwdriver), then loosen the appropriate set of nuts on the black front brackets that are attached to the cover and center it. Make sure you re-tighten all the bolts! Reconnect the gas props.
9. Adjust the height of the rear "strikes" so that the latching steel rods go underneath them as shown here:
The "latch" can be moved "in or out" by loosening the nuts (red arrows).
The "strike can be moved "up or down" by loosening the nuts (blue arrows).
You can always re-adjust these later if you prefer. After you have adjusted the strikes and latches, re-tighten all the nuts.
10. That's it!
Try it out. We've slotted most of the brackets so you can adjust most things, if necessary.
