Make sure that chemicals or substances, which are not labeled ‘safe for plastics’, do not come in contact with your Undercover.
Failure to do so could cause discoloration and/or structural damage to your Undercover and will void your warranty. Paint rubbing of the truck is normally not a problem, but is always a possibility with any tonneau. To ensure less chance of possible paint rubbing of the truck, it is suggested to install a tailgate protector and adhere Cab Skin®, Scotch Cal®, or similar product to the truck bed. These products can provide added assurance against paint rubbing.

Undercover Tonneaus are designed from trucks that do not have a bed liner (spray-in bed liners pose no problem). Trucks that do have under-the-rail or over-the-rail bed liners will require some minor trimming of the bed liner to ensure proper placement of the mounting brackets. Due to the wide variety of bed liner manufacturers, the modifications will vary slightly between different brands. Any modifications must be made to the bed liner and NOT to the Undercover mounting hardware. Modifications to the mounting hardware will result in improper installation and will void your warranty.
TONNEAU INSTALLATION GUIDE Place the rear bracket against the truck stake pocket or tail light well Page 4, Figure 1, Pictures A & B. Use two of the holes in rear bracket which are unobstructed by the truck bed, (there will be three to choose from), one hole as far forward as possible and one hole as far back as possible (this will vary depending upon truck model) Page 4, Figure 2. Place a 5/16Óx 1 1/4″bolt with a 5/16″lock washer and a 5/16″washer through the hole in bracket Page 4, Figure 3. Place clamp on backside of bracket behind the bed lip of the truck.
Thread the bold into the clamp and tighten being careful to not let the clamp twist while tightening. Make sure bracket is held down tightly against truck bed rail before tightening. Repeat procedure for second clamp. Mounting bracket bolts must be tightened down without bending the bracket. Keep the clamps straight and do not let them turn while tightening Page 4, Figure 3, Picture C & D.
WARNING! Bolts must be tightened to the correct torque to prevent any movement of the bracket on the truck bed. Bolts must be re-checked for tightness periodically. Failure to do so could cause serious damage to both the truck and/or your Undercover. Repeat Steps A through C for opposite side of the truck bed. D C B A Footnote: Normal installation does not require the use of a torque wrench. But it is a good idea to compare how tight you are currently tightening the bolts with the tool you are using with a torque wrench just so you can get “the feel”of how tight 15-ft./lbs. or 180-in./lbs. of torque actually is.
