ADJUST THE LOCK RODS
Press the plastic bushings until they snap
8
into place in each of the factory holes in
the bed walls under the panel. (See
step 10 illustration for location.)
There may be plastic plugs in the
factory holes. Remove them.
Loosen the set screws on the
9
tail-panel lock-rod linkages.
With the lock handle in the open position, adjust the length of the lock
10
rods so that their tips stop about 1/4" short of the factory holes.
ATTACH THE SAFETY CATCH & GAS SPRINGS
ADJUST THE LOCK RODS
Open the cab panel. Have a second person support it
13
in the open position.
Slip the looped ends
14
of the cable tethers
attached to the
underside of the cab
panel around the
center-panel ball stud
arms, well past the
ball studs and nuts.
Attach a gas spring—barrel up, shaft down—to each of
15
the pairs of ball studs on the cab panel.
If two of your gas springs have heavier poundage printed on the
side of their barrels than the others, use them here. If just one of
the springs is stronger, use it on the driver side.

With the lock handle in the closed
11
position, position the lock rods
tight against the top rims of the
factory holes in the bed wall so that
they'll draw the panels down and
compress the weatherstrip. Tight-
en the rod guide brackets with a
7/16" socket.
For best weather
protection, have a
second person press
down on the cover while
you adjust the lock rods.
Using the access panels is easiest when you
press down as you open or close them.
Repeat steps 8 through 11 for
12
the cab panel.
Your panels should be hard to operate
at first. After finishing install below,
leave the panels closed as much as possible for 3–4 days
to break in the weatherstrip. After that period, you should
find that the panels open and close without di culty.
If the lock rods are still di cult to operate after the break-in
period, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly on the top of their
rubber end caps.
If you are also installing a Cross Bin, do so now. Refer to
the Cross Bin Installation Guide for details.
Push the keyhole at the bottom of the
16
safety catch hanging from the cab
panel's driver side around the nut
protruding from the outboard side
of the ball stud arm, flexing the
spring clip so the nut can pass
through, then allowing the panel
to open fully so the nut can slide
into the narrower part
of the keyhole and
spring clip come
back into place
behind the nut.
Attach the two remaining gas springs—barrel up, shaft
17
down—to the ball studs on the tail panel.
If your truck has bed rail caps, a x the included bulkhead
