Are you saying that you used two small pieces of the longer thin edge trim on the hatch edge under the two hooks on the top bracket?
Unless I’m reading the instructions incorrectly, they don’t mention using anything between the small hooks on the top bracket and the hatch.
Here’s instruction number 2:
“2. Cut the smaller edge trim in half and install it on the bottom edges of the top bracket. Place the 3M tape squares across the front-most section of the bracket and remove the masking film. Measure 4.5” from the far left edge of the rain gutter as shown. Making sure that the hooked portion of the bracket is wrapped down around the tailgate and pulled backward as tight as possible, stick the top bracket down with the tape. You will want to make sure the hooked portion hugs the tailgate as closely as possible, so that it does not hit the body when the tailgate is opened.”
The smaller edge trim is the shorter thick one and it goes under the two side edges of the top bracket. Mine came pre cut into two short pieces.
The longer thinner trim was meant to go under the bottom bracket to protect the hatch bottom edge. Mine extended well beyond the bottom bracket.
I didn’t put anything under the ”hooks” at the top.
Am I missing something?
