Install the metal rods into the two side sleeves on each side of the cover.
When i took off the original covers- i made marks on the side metal tabs of the frame where the screws went in for the side chrome trim- I now marked the new cover in the same place... Once the rods are hogringed together the mark will be the only way to help figure out where those holes are.
Starting at the top pull the two sides together and hogring them.
Pull the welting seam on the back corner out and to the front as you pull that seam down to eliminate wrinkles/waves along that edge.
once the hogrings are all in, use your finger to "flip" the triangle so that the flat side is facing out.
Now you can pull that bottom flap up into position, starting in the center and hogring it in place.
The outter most hogring positions are just a single hole, not enough room for 2 hogrings- so i cut the earlier hogring off that was holding ONLY the top flap on, and put in new ones that hold both the top and bottom flap in that position.
