Another  way  to  ensure  proper  fit  is  to  check  the  side  to  side  play  of  the  handle  assembly  at  the  canister  and  at  the 
tailgate end of the rails. There should be, at the minimum, enough play to allow the cover to move freely with no drag 
and at a maximum 1/8 inch per side. More than 1/8 inch per side may result in the cover opening unintentionally and in 
severe cases  it may fall between the rail tracks and damage the cover. 

There  are  “Stick  on  Shims”  on  the  shim 

brackets  that  can  be  removed  if  the  unit  is  too  tight  and  “Stick  on  Shims”  in  the  hardware  pack  that  can  be 
added if too loose. Refer to Figure 6C for “Stick on Shims” if adjustment is needed. 

Firmly shut the tailgate with the cover in the closed position and check to make sure the “Tailgate Ajar” warning is not 
active. If the warning is active and more than reasonable force is necessary to  fully shut the tailgate, more clearance 
may be necessary at the Rail End Caps.

 STEP 8:   INSTALLING KICKSTANDS 

Install  the  kickstands  at  the  tailgate  ends  of  the  rails. 
Loosely  fasten  the  kickstand  assembly  to  the  clamp 
grip, on the side of the grip where the pivot foot will land 
on the flattest section of bed wall. Rotate the assembly 
so that it  will  push  as squarely as possible on the  bed 
wall,  then  tighten  the  wing  nut.  If  the  assembly  is  not 
positioned squarely against the bed wall, the assembly 
will  rotate  out  of  position,  or  the  foot  or  knob  can 
dislodge when the rail is flexed or loaded 

(FIG. 8C). 

Run  the  adjusting  bolt  inward  toward  the  bed  wall, 
putting  some  pressure  on  the  foot,  then  continue 
running  the  bolt  inward  using  the  knob  until  the  rail  is 
visually  level.  The  adjusting  bolt  can  be  removed  and 
the  base  flipped  180  degrees  to  adjust  for  varying 
clearance  with  the  bed  wall 

(FIG.  8B). 

Verify  the  BR 

dimension after the rails are leveled.
