Unpack all components and hardware from packaging. Ensure that everything is accounted for as indicated above.
Step 2
Remove any cab guards, roll bar, tonneau cover, sports bar etc. from vehicle.
Step 3
Remove the factory-fitted tie-down hooks.
Insert & align the cab side brackets with the front tie-down fastening points.
Insert & align the Tailgate side brackets with the rear tie-down fastening points
Ensure that the rear cab window of the vehicle is clean, before loading the canopy onto the load bin.
Step 4
Fit & align the canopy center to the vehicle load box, with a minimum distance of 25mm between the canopy front panel and vehicle cabin. (Fig. 1).
When the canopy is resting on the load bin, adjust the brackets to achieve a gap of approx. 6mm between the canopy fastening surface and the bracket top surface. (Fig2.)
Once the canopy is aligned and in place, use a black marker to mark the hole positions of the fitment brackets. Once all 4 x corners are marked, drill a Ø9mm hole into the side trim through the vehicle load box. (XP canopies will be pre-drilled).
Secure the brackets to the load body by fastening the bolts slowly & securely.
Secure the canopy to the brackets using the bolts supplied, tighten the bolts to secure the two surfaces firmly.
Step 5
Trim sealing rubber on tailgate with knife or scissors.
Check again for alignment of canopy on sides of loading bin.
