Truck bed rail covers are an excellent way to protect the sides of your truck bed from scratches, dings, and wear. Installing truck bed rail covers is a relatively simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
The first step in installing truck bed rail covers is to gather the supplies you’ll need. You will need a drill and drill bit, screws, a screwdriver or power screwdriver, and the truck bed rail covers you are installing.
Step 2: Measure the Rails
Once you have all of your supplies together, the next step is to measure the rails on your truck bed. Measure from one end of the rail to the other in order to determine how much cover you need for each side of the bed.
Step 3: Cut Covers to Size
Once you have measured your rails, take your truck bed rail covers and cut them to size using a sharp knife or scissors. Make sure that each cover is cut exactly as long as each side of the bed rail so that it fits perfectly when installed.
Step 4: Drill Holes for Screws
Once you have cut your covers to size, use a drill and drill bit to create holes in them for the screws. You will need at least four holes per cover – two on each end – so make sure they are spaced evenly apart.
Step 5: Attach Covers with Screws
Finally, take your screws and attach each cover firmly to its corresponding rail using a screwdriver or power screwdriver. Make sure that all screws are tightened securely so that the covers stay firmly in place.
Conclusion: Installing truck bed rail covers is an easy process that only requires a few simple steps. All you need is some basic tools such as a drill and drill bit, screws, and a screwdriver or power screwdriver.
