The rear of the lid should stick out about 1/4” to 1/2” away from the tailgate. DO NOT PUSH LID UP AGAINST THE TAILGATE. Using the hinges in the lid, mark with a pencil, the position for the hinge plates. The “A” marks will determine the fore and aft positioning. The “B” marks determine the lateral positioning of the lid.
