Wolfbox's Powered Retractable Tonneau Cover Installation

STEP 8 - Install tonneau cover on truck bed. I was finally able to muster my son-in-law workforce which included my grandson. While two can get the job done, we found the magic number to be three, one on either side and a third lifting the heavy container from inside the bed. The instruction call for the power cord to be connected before the unit is placed in its final position, centered and just short of touching the bed’s front wall. I also have Mabett’s truck bed spoiler mounted. It appears to be a good seal between the spoiler and the tonneau cover.

STEP 11 – Install drain tubes. I chose to install the front drain tubes out of sequence. Rather than installing them after the unit had been secured in the bed, I installed the drains before lifting the assembled cover into position. I saved myself having to work blind or looking up while on my back. I also identified a major problem completing the install with a DIBL. The holes previously drilled in the liner and the side of the bed in Step #1 to receive the front drain tubes are separated between by a significant gap between the backs of the DIBL and the truck's . If the drain is attached as the instructions call for, draining water will fall between the liner and truck wall and not to the outside. I intend to make a trip to the big box and pick up a short length of tubing to fit inside the drain tube Wolfbox provides and bridge both holes in order to properly drain the cover's container.
