The hinges must never be fitted over the Ute liner. Before fitting the Lazerback, the front top edge of the ute liner must be cut off. 2. Using the tape measure, and with a marking pencil, mark the centre of the tub at the front. Similarly, find and mark the centre of the Lazerback at the front. Place the Lazerback on the body of the vehicle being very careful to not mark the paintwork. Hint: Place 2 soft cloths on the side rim of the vehicle’s tub, underneath each of the locking rods. 3. Put a mark on the body where the male hinges on the Lazerback are located. Line up the female hinges on the body with the marks and attach them with the self drilling screws and spring washers supplied (3 per hinge). Do not over tighten the screws as the metal can be thin on some models. See Figure 1 4. We recommend that you now remove the hinges so that you can clean away any swarf or metal filings, and apply a bead of sealant to the underside of the hinges and the 6 holes that you have drilled to prevent water seepage, then refit the hinges. 5. With a clean rag and methylated spirits, clean the front top of the tub before applying the foam sealing tape. Start applying the foam sealing tape from a position on the inside edge of the tub, 80mm from the front of the tub. Apply the foam sealing tape from this point working your way back along the inside edge of the front of the tub stopping at the hinge and then starting again on the other side of the hinge. Repeat procedure for the other hinge and continue around the corner until you finish 80mm along the inside edge of the other side of the tub. Apply foam tape to the top of the hinges. Ensure that where the foam tape meets the foam tape on top of the hinge, you have a good tight join. You can apply a small bead of silicon at these joins to ensure that you have an uninterrupted seal from one side of the vehicle to the other side. This will prevent water from seeping into the tub. Note: If installing in cold weather the foam sealing tape may need be heated to assist adhesion. See Figure 1
