Step 1
Starting with the driver side, locate and
cut out the plastic stake pocket cover.
Repeat for passenger-side stake pocket
cover.
Note: Some vehicles have removable
stake pocket covers and cutting is not
necessary.
Step 2
Insert a flathead screwdriver into
the stake pocket and push in the tab
to remove the plug. Repeat for the
passenger-side stake pocket plug.
Note: Not all vehicles will have a plug to
be removed. Removal is only necessary
if it interferes with stake pocket clamps.
Step 3
Prior to installing headache rack check to
make sure the stake pocket clamp hooks
on both sides of the stake pocket.
If the clamp does not fully open on
both sides, bending of the tabs may be
required as shown.
Note: Needle nose pliers may be needed
to remove clamp from stake pocket.
