To install the DIAMONDBACK Cross Bin 13 Truck Covers, please follow the instructions provided in the installation guide. Here is a step-by-step guide:
1. Before installing the Cross Bin, make sure you have already installed your DiamondBack cover. If you have a '19-up Ram 1500 with Multifunction Tailgate, remove the factory reinforcement brackets from the front corners of the cargo bed first.
2. Open the cab panel of the cover and detach the bottom ends of its gas springs from their ball studs. Fold the panel completely back until it rests on the closed portion of the cover.
3. Place the Cross Bin into the cargo bed, ensuring that its support flanges rest on the bed rails. Note that many pickup truck cargo beds are tapered, so the Cross Bin may have a front and back. Look for the word "CAB" etched into one of the longer walls of the bin (could be on the inside or outside of the wall) and make that wall the one nearest the cab.
4. Move the Cross Bin as far forward as possible.
5. Optional: For bumpy driving conditions, you can fasten the Cross Bin to the bed rail lips using self-drilling sheet metal screws. If you have a current-generation F-Series pickup, use rivet nuts and bolts to fasten the bin.
6. If you have a '19-up Ram 1500 with Multifunction Tailgate, reinstall the factory reinforcement brackets in the front corners of the cargo bed.
7. If you find that your cab-panel lock rods are more difficult to operate after installing the Cross Bin under a DiamondBack cover you've had for a while, you can use the rod guide brackets and a 7/16" socket to lower the rods slightly.
Remember to keep the cargo in the Cross Bin clear of the cab panel's safety catch to avoid interference.
