STEP 1. Place the X-TREME GATE "Slide-Out" Truck Bed Extender on your open tailgate with the housings tapered edge facing the front of the bed and the corrugated housing panel facing up. Center the X-TREME GATE between the sides of the tailgate (Fig. A). The X-TREME GATE "Slide-Out" Truck Bed Extender should be about ¼" from the rear edge of the tailgate.
Fig. A
STEP 2. Insert the long self tapping screws (Part # AA) in the end block holes. Screw them into the tailgate with a screw gun (drill) fitted with a Philips screw head; one at a time alternating end to end (Fig. B). Be careful as to keep the X-TREME GATE "Slide-Out" Truck Bed Extender from moving during this process.

STEP 3.
Insert the short self tapping screws (Part # BB) in the
front block holes starting with the center hole and working your way outward (Fig.
C). You may remove the housing;
remove any metal shavings and remount it using the provided rubber washers (Part
# DD) as gaskets for each mounting screw.

STEP 4. Open the tailgate and slide the end panel to the rear and out of the housing. Raise the side panels to a vertical position and flip the end panel assembly up and forward. Locate the retainer clip template on the inner side of each side panel. Locate the appropriate template markings for your application (G = 2000 to 2005 GM). Make sure the appropriate 20mm mark is aligned with the factory striker post.
STEP 5. Drill the 4 small holes for your application using a ¼” drill bit. Drill the large hole using the supplied 20mm spade bit (Part # SB) (Fig. D). Remove the template as well as any loose plastic debris from the holes with a blade or knife (the loose debris may interfere with the smooth operation of the retainer clip).

STEP 6. Trim the side panel with a jig saw or other power cutting tool along the perforated line on the template.
STEP 7. Mount the retainer clip (Part # A1) on the inner side of the side panels (be careful as the retainer clip may come apart until it is installed) by aligning the mounting holes and inserting the 4 screws (Part # CC) from the outer side of the end panel (Fig. E).

STEP 8. Slide the side panel supports (Part # A3) on the trimmed edge of the end panel, drill the mounting holes, and insert the supplied mounting screws.
STEP 9. Repeat STEPS 5 - 8 for the other side.
