Installation Manual

Overview: Bushwacker only approves installing the TailGate Cap
according to these written instructions with the hardware provided.
WARNING: Failure to install according to these instructions will
invalidate the warranty. This includes, but is not limited to using
alternative installation methods, hardware, or materials. DO NOT USE:
Loctite
®
, Super Glue
®
, or similar products on the TailGate Cap.
Fit: Verify the fi t of the TailGate Cap to vehicle. Note: Trimming or
modifi cations to the TailGate Cap may be necessary for use with some
Truck Bed Covers or Truck Caps.
Preparing the Work Area: Clean the area of installation with a cloth
and rubbing alcohol or prep-solvent to remove any car wax or dirt from
vehicle surface.
Installation Temperature: During installation on the vehicle, TailGate
Cap and tape need to be between 60°F and 110°F for proper adhesion.
Failure to maintain proper installation temperature may result in the part
not functioning correctly. If not within acceptable range, increase surface
temperature using a heat gun or suitable device (hair dryer) to help reach
proper range. The warmer the vehicle surface, the better the initial bond,
but should not exceed 110°F.

STEP 2 – PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Peel the red vinyl backing partially away from tape pads.
Note: Make sure the tabs are folded toward the outside of
the part and that the middle tape liner is in front of the outside
liner. See Illustration #1.
Carefully lay the part down on the vehicle tailgate and position
properly. See Illustration #2.
Maintaining part placement, begin by pulling middle tape tab
fi rst. Apply downward pressure to part as you remove tape
liner. Remove carefully. Do not break tape liner. Repeat for
other two tape liners. Once all liners are removed, apply fi rm
pressure along all taped areas. Note: 3M™ recommends
30 PSI to promote full adhesion. Tape reaches maximum
adhesive bond after 24 hours of contact.
