Both finish options provide an attractive way to complement the exterior styling of your classic Chevrolet or GMC pickup.
Easy No-Drill Installation
These bed rail caps attach using high-performance adhesive backing, eliminating the need to drill into your truck's bed rails.
- Dry-fit all components before removing the adhesive backing.
- Thoroughly clean and degrease the mounting surfaces.
- Ensure the vehicle surface temperature is at least 65°F during installation.
- Carefully align the caps before pressing them into place.
- Apply firm, even pressure along the length of the caps.
- Do not wash the vehicle for at least 48 hours after installation.
Installation Tip: Once the adhesive makes contact, the caps cannot simply be removed and repositioned. Carefully check alignment before final attachment. Having an assistant available is recommended to help with positioning.
Follow ICI's installation instructions carefully. Improper surface preparation or installation can result in premature adhesive failure and may affect warranty coverage.
Manufacturer Warranty
ICI stainless steel bed caps include a limited three-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials, workmanship and finish under normal use. The warranty excludes damage caused by road debris, misuse, improper installation, accidents, modifications, neglect and scratches. Freight, removal, installation and labor costs are not covered.
For stainless steel components, regular cleaning and periodic application of quality automotive wax are recommended to help maintain the polished finish.
