1. Using the shape of the Tailgate cover I lined up the right-side edge then used the provided self-tapping screws, Philips bit and drill to locate the top right-hand corner.




2. Stretching the top section while using the top line of the tailgate I located the top left screw.


3. Still using the top edge to level, the tailgate cover I located the remaining top 2 screws. Then stretched the cover tight to locate the bottom row from the middle out. 


4. Using a scribe, I located the lower right corner. After marking the location, I used a 7/64 drill bit to locate the hole. Due to the location falling on a crease. 


5. All screws installed.  


6. Un-snap the straps from the bag and weave through the molly loops.
