HELP! Hard Tonneau cover with no instructions!

[Spreafic01]

I recently bought a hard bi-fold tonneau cover for my 04 XLT, and it came with all of the mounting hardware (presumably). My only problem is that I have absolutely no idea how this thing goes together. It's allegedly an OEM cover, but I've found nothing through my searches. Any ideas? Pics related.

See if this helps.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing... uh oh.

It's how it attaches to the bed.

 

[Spreafic01]

Ahhhh. Makes a little more sense now. I have a spray in bedliner, not a drop-in. Are those circular artifacts supposed to be the holes in each corner?

 

[franklin2]

You may not have to worry about those round things. I m not sure, but I think they have something to do with holding the bedliner in place, which you do not have. Apparently they want you to remove the bedliner so you can get at those large plates on the right and left sides. They must be behind the bedliner. Just a guess.

Okay. It's starting to make some sense. Where did you find these images?
