INSTALLATION GUIDE
60 minutes
Normal Install Time
PARTS INCLUDED:
180 Cover
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Ratchet Wrench
PREPARE THE CARGO BED & MOUNT THE COVER
If you have a 2016–up Tacoma, you should affix the included rubber
gasket to your bulkhead prior to installing your cover. Refer to the
Bulkhead Prep Kit Installation Guide for details.
Close the tailgate. Place the cover onto the cargo bed so that the
1
weatherstrip along the rear angle is firmly compressed against the
inside edge of the tailgate.
Center the cover
2
side to side.
Place the cap clamps under the nose of
3
the T panel, their top halves gripping the
inside flange of the panel and their
bottom halves gripping the square-tube
top rail ('16-up) or fitting into the deck
rail system ('05-15). Tighten with a 9/16"
socket.
Verify that the cover remains centered side to side and its rear
4
weatherstrip remains compressed against the tailgate.
Keep an eye out for these icons:
Cap Clamps (2)
9/16" Socket

Important installation information
Mounting Brackets (2)
10mm Socket
1/8" Hex Key
Use a 10mm socket to remove the
5
factory bolt and washer that are on
the cargo-bed wall directly below
the hollow section of the driver-side
end of the cover's T panel. Repeat
on the passenger side.
Place a mounting bracket at each
6
end of the T panel so that the brack-
et's top leg overlaps the inside
flange of the panel and its slot aligns
with the factory bolt hole.
Peel the adhesive backing from the top
leg of the brackets so they'll stay in
place as you attach them.
Re-insert each bolt through its
7
washer, through the bracket slot,
and into the factory hole. Re-tighten.
To get the weatherstrip compression
necessary for its adhesive to cure
and the cover to keep out the
weather, have a second
person press down on
the cover while
you're reinstalling the
factory bolts.
If you have a '05–15 Tacoma, you should affix the included bulkhead
8
weatherstrip at this point. Refer to the Bulkhead Prep Kit Installa-
tion Guide for details.
