The vehicle should be parked on a hard surface.Make sure the transmission is in park or 1st gear.
The rear tires will remain on the ground if the wheel chocks are placed around them.Since the rear of the vehicle is going to be lifted up, the wheel chocks will be around the front tires.Lock the rear tires with the parking brake.
Pick up the cap/cover and place it on the truck bed.You can access the inside of the cover by opening the tailgate.Bed liner protectors are a rubber pad that goes under the cover to protect the bed from scratches.
Place four c-clamps at each corner of the cap.To secure the bed with bolts, take a marker and mark where you want to put the bolts.
Get a drill and drill bits that are compatible with the bolts you want to install.The mounting surface of the cap/cover has holes drilled into it.
Put the bolts on the lock nuts.The nuts need to be Torqued down hand tight.If the bolts are Torqued too much, they will crack the cap/cover.
The tailgate and back window need to be closed.To see if the seal is tight, spray the cap with a water hose.If there is a leak, you need to check the bolts for tightness and make sure the seal isn't folded over to make a gap under the cap.
