FIT FIRST Secure the rear of the Rolltrac side rail to the mount extrusion with one screws (17) on each side as shown. Secure the side rail with 7 screws (16) on each side. Work from RHS to LHS to avoid one side lifting up.
PERFORM FITMENT CHECK Perform width check (using canister end as reference) and diagonal fitment check (mounting bolts may need loosening for adjustment). Open and close the cover by hand, checking for smooth operation and consistent 1.5-2.0mm(0.05-0.07”) side to side free-play of slat assembly within side rails. If there are any tight spots, then check side rail position and re-adjust side rail width as required.
