2005+ Toyota Tacoma Installation Instructions

Step 1:

Slide square headed bolts into tracks.
Use 3 for Crew Cab and 4 for Short Bed.

Step 2:

Attach rails to bolts. Make sure rails are positioned hard up against cab wall.

Step 3:

Position cover squarely on rails. Make sure cover sits on top of cab rail and tailgate rail.

Step 4:

Attaching the Cover to the Rails.

Once you’re comfortable that the cover is fitting correctly inside of your truck rails, it’s time to bolt the cover down. Take the 2 provided flat headed elevator bolts and drop them through the hole in the front panel of your cover. The bolt will also drop through slotted hole of the plate that extends out each rail.
Once the bolt is in place, fold the cover open again. You can only fold the panels by releasing the latches that keep them down. Do so by pulling on the cable under the panel. This can be done from either the driver or passenger side of the cover. Once the bolt is in place, open tailgate and begin the process of carefully folding the cover open again.  You can only fold the panels by releasing the latches that keep them down.  To release latches, pull on the cable under the rearmost panel (this can be done from either the driver or passenger side of the cover).  When the cover is folded forward, tighten elevator bolts with star knobs.

MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A RUBBER WASHER BETWEEN THE STAR KNOB AND THE METAL EXTENSION PLATE.
NOTE:  Do not over-tighten the knobs. Tighten them until you feel they are firm.

Step 4:

Connecting The Drain Tubes

If you have a drop in bedliner, simply run the drain tubes behind or under the liner. Alternatively you will need to locate the best place to drain the hoses. Most trucks have drain plugs on the floor or against the cab. Simply remove these plugs or drill a ¾” hole through the plastic plug.

Step 5:

Attaching Arm Stay Locks so you Can Travel with the Cover Open

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Driving with the cover in the open position

1.  Assemble arm stay locks by sliding them into the vertical plates and inserting the securing knob onto threaded bolt

2.  The securing knob should pass through the long slot and should be able to slide up and down.  Tightening the knob will keep the stay lock in position.

Your rails have pre-installed components on them such as locking arm stays, extension plates and drain valves. Your rails are pre-assembled and ready to install.
This is a side view of your locking arms once in place.
With the New BAKFlip G2 Cover, you can now secure your cover in the "partially open" position! We have installed "D Rings" on the top front edge of the cover (on both the passenger and driver's side), so with bungee cords (that you provide), you are able to secure the cover in a partially open position and travel with it this way!
