PARTS INCLUDED:
Cab Panel
Center Panel
Tail Panel
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
If you are installing a cab guard or headache rack, you should
mount it prior to mounting your DiamondBack cover. Refer to its
installation guide for details.
MOUNT THE PANELS
Place the center panel across the
1
center of the bed, cheated slightly
toward the tailgate.
Since the cover is
slightly tapered,
make sure the
arrow sticker on
the underside of
the center panel is
pointing toward
the tailgate.
Attach the tail panel by angling it 90° from the bed rails, sliding its
2
driver-side, loop-shaped hinge knuckle fully onto the corresponding
center-panel hinge pin, then dropping its passenger-side, C-shaped
hinge knuckle fully onto its corresponding pin.
FIRST
To avoid hinge damage, make sure the C-shaped
hinge knuckle is fully engaged with its pin before
tilting the panel.
Lower the tail panel into the closed position.

It's possible for one person to install a DiamondBack solo, but the
whole process, especially positioning the panels, adjusting the lock
rods, and connecting the cab-panel tethers, is easier with two people.
Repeat steps 2–3 for the
4
cab panel, starting this
time with the loop-shaped
hinge knuckle on the
passenger side.
Position the cover front to back so that the leading edge of
5
the closed cab panel lines up with the outside edge of the
center of the bulkhead.
Center the cover side to side on
6
the truck.
A x the center panel to the truck by placing a cap clamp at each of
7
the four interior corners of the underside of the center panel and
tightening them with a 9/16" socket.
Road vibration can loosen your clamps. Retighten them after
100 miles. Check them every time you haul on top.
