When tightening, hold the mounting plate vertically; otherwise, it will rotate. Reattach the cable to the cable bolt.
We provide polyester film to prevent parts from sliding on the truck bed and tailgate. Apply the polyester film to the truck bed and tailgate, especially where the tailgate auxiliary parts will be close during opening/closing. The arrows in the diagram indicate the installation positions for the polyester film. The vehicle shown in the diagram is only an example of polyester film installation. Your vehicle may differ from the one shown in the diagram.
