Here are the instructions on how to install Snugtop shell:

Clean the bed rails of the truck with either damp washcloth or alcohol cloth as alcohol will clean the surface and remove dirt and debris. Leave the rails to dry.
Take the Snugtop shell out of the box.
Ask some of your friends to help you to put the shell on the place. Place it with tailgate end pointing the same direction as the truck tailgate. The sides and corners of the shell should be lined up with the sides and corners of the truck. On the bottom of the Snugtop is a rubber that should be sat on the top of the truck rail.
Get into the area under the shell, open the front shell window and make sure that the rubber and the shell are lined up. In order to check this better you can use a flashlight and if there is a need you can readjust the shell. Then close the window and lock it with the window locks that are placed in the upper corners of the window.
Take the Snugtop hardware that are usually in plastic bag and come with the shell.
On the inside part of the side panels of the shell, there are holes in which you must insert the bolts through the top and secure them in place on the bottom with a nut. In order to do it use a socket wrench. Repeat this step for all holes and bolts.
Put the rubber nut caps over the nuts.
Remove the screws that hold the truck tail light on with a screwdriver and connect the shell wiring to the brake light assembly. In order to check if this works properly just tap the brakes.
Finally, shut the shell door and try to lock and unlock it to check if it works well.
