Fitment Steps
Step 1
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 the provided cab side and tail gate side brackets. (Image below)
Secure brackets with provided bolts on the OEM tie-down points.
Ensure that the rear cab window of the vehicle is clean, before loading the canopy onto the load bin.
Step 4
Fit the canopy to the loading bin, align & space evenly.
Identify the front & rear tie-down points in the load bin, as these points will be used for the fitment brackets. Refer to “FIG 1.” For tie-down positions.
Fit both tail gate & cab side fitment brackets in position. Do not over tighten as you might need to adjust bracket heights. Below illustration applicable to both tail-gate & cab side fitment brackets.
Align the canopy fastening points with the brackets’ fastening points. (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.)
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, into the factory supplied threaded holes.
Step 5
Trim sealing rubber on tailgate with knife or scissors.
Check again for alignment of canopy on sides of loading bin.
Check all bolts one final time.
Enjoy your NEW Rhinoman all Aluminum Canopy.
