Luggage Cover

3-Door

Retractable Spring Rewinding

The retractable luggage cover contains a pre-wound torsion spring which is wound up more as the cover is extended, providing the spring return action.

The following procedure should be used to rewind a luggage cover which has lost all spring tension. This procedure is best accomplished with two people.

1. Remove the cover from its side retaining brackets and remove from vehicle. Start with the fully extended cover with smooth grain side up, as it is in vehicle.

2. Fold the edges of the vinyl toward the center and hold so that the edges clear the end cap slots.

   NOTE: Masking tape or a rubber band can be used to secure the vinyl to the LH side of the roller tube.

3. While holding the vinyl and roller tube, depress the RH end cap (marked with an "R" on the outside end) approximately 6.35mm (1/4 inch) to disengage the clutch. Turn 14 revolutions in the direction shown. For reference, the wind direction is also marked on the outside end of the end cap.

4. Release the RH end cap. This should engage the clutch and prevent loss of spring tension. Unfold the vinyl and replace it in the end cap slots.

5. With vinyl fully retracted, insert the luggage cover side retaining brackets. Note that the RH retaining bracket opening is narrower than the LH.

6. Check for proper operation of luggage cover.
