STEP 10: Select proper mounting hole location STEP 11: Add rubber spacer
Honda Ridgeline 2006-2015
STEP 12: Assemble and install drain tube
On the passenger rear
mount plate, the hole used
depends on if the rubber
spacer is needed (see step
11). Most 2008 and older
beds use the upper holes
without the spacer.
During the 2008 model
year the passenger side of
the Honda tailgate was
raised slightly. The late
2008 and newer models use the lower hole and the rubber
spacer. This is needed for clearance over the tailgate.

The rubber spacer provided can be added under
the passenger rear mount bracket for proper
clearance over factory tailgate protector.
Peel off adhesive strip from rubber spacer and
attach spacer underneath mount bracket.
Optional Rail Weather Adjustment: The inside walls of
the Ridgeline bed have a slight bow outward from front to
back. This can cause a slight gap between the rail weather
strip and the side wall of the bed. The rail weather strip can
be moved towards the bed wall if needed. Slide the weather
strip firmly against the wall to close the gap.

Remove plastic film from the canister.
Insert tubes into the
holes in the bottom
of the canister.
Make certain they
are clicked in all the
way for proper
drainage. 2 clicks
means they are
secured.
You can pass the tubes through the 2 factory
plastic bed bolt covers. Remove the covers and
drill a loose ½” hole or a 9/16’ hole for the
tubes. Offset the holes as shown.
