Help Fitting Hard Cover to VU Ute

[shadowmaster]

I baught a hard cover about 6 months ago and never got around to fitting it to my car, the cover is from a VZ Thunder and i have a VU... I baught the kit from holden with the seals, bolts etc but how do i fit it all and is there any advice on doing so or guidelines ???

I just want to make sure its done right. Also the Kit come with 2 corner pieces with rubber seals on them, im guessing they go up the front corners but how and where exactly ?

Also if anyone has a hard cover fitted and could take a lot of photos, would help illustrate.

Thanks

i have taken mine off and i will post pictures asap on what mine looked like if u want ie where the gas struts were and where the hinges were placed

That would be a good start mate, if you could post up here whatever picture you can take would be great.

Is there seriously no one that has done this or can help at all ???

i fitted an aftermarket one to my crewy.
from memory i sat it on with the hinges just siting in place with the tailgate open. i made sure the lid was sitting evenly all the way around the tray. i then climbed in and put a tech screw in each hinge on the front. then i put both stays on(the stay mount replaces a bolt on the side) it then put all the screws in then put the rubber on.

sorry i cant upload the pictures but with mine it sat on two hinges which were placed behind the windshield. about half way there was a tiny metal ball that was screwed into the tray where the gas struts clipped in too. really is simple but pictures would help sorry
