The following information is being provided to help solve difficult operation of the cover when using the quick clamps.
Rail Level
It’s important that the rails be level in order for the panels to roll back and forth smoothly. Stand behind your truck about 8 feet and look at each rail. It’s just like checking a picture on the wall. You can tell immediately if it’s level or not.

To level out the bracket, bend the bracket leg up or down per our Quick Clamp Installation video below.
You can level the bracket leg with the rail attached but care needs to be taken to ensure damage does not occur to the rail. Reference the photo below for leveling with rails attached.
Rail Alignment
Your rails need to be narrowed as much as possible at the tailgate end. If your rails are not touching the rear roller on the tailgate panel then your rails are too wide. You can view video Panel and Frame Adjustment video at the 1:38 time mark to see how to push in the rails and then center at the tailgate end.
Ramp Adjustment
After you have aligned your rails make sure that your ramps are adjusted out just enough so that the short roller rides on the inside edge. Ramps that are adjusted out too far can cause the roller to come in contact with the gas spring.
