I have a little pouch in my glove box that had a nut driver in it (came with the truck). Once you get that you just pull the 2 bolts out of each side from under the rail of your bed. Then you either slide the wing forward or backward and then pull it up. I am pretty sure it goes forward.

pull it back,the rear bolts slide in a bracket built in the wing,you will see ounce you pull it back and then lift it off.Mine were 10mm head on front bolts.

Thanks guys, the way I did it was I pulled the taillights off and had easy access to the rear bolts. Now comes the dilemma... to drill or not drill into my lazerlite xtreme

Drill....I did. Just remember....the wing will actually bend your tonneau cover if you go fast enough. Trust Me!!!!!

Also, buy some silicone to put on the bolts underneath the tonneau where they might come into contact with the bed rails. Because they do sooner or later....Trust me.

Kris- your tonneau bends (courtesy of the wing) at speed? Odd.
I've had a little vibration going on the center section of the wing (85 mph+), but it's never bent or flexed the Lazerlite.

Also, you can trim the excess off the mounting bolts on the underside of the cover. Use a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and do them the same height as the nut. The weatherstripping on the Lazerlite, when compressed, is slightly taller than the height of the mounting nut.
A rubber nut cover from Lowe's/HomeDepot will provide further protection when the cover is lowered. Check the drawers in their Hardware department, and take one of the nuts in with you to make sure you get the right size nut cover.

Thats the hard way and not the correct way to remove the wing. I did the exact same thing when I first removed my wing to install my Pace Edwards cover. As Yellow Venom 366 said the front 2 bolts are 10mm, the rear 2 (the ones you removed the tails for) are stationary and do NOT need to be touched. Once the front 2 bolts are out simply just push/pull the wing TOWARDS the BACK of the truck.

guys, just an FYI that once you drill your tonneau,should anything go wrong, they will try and VOID THE WARRANTY when you try to get it fixed. Trust me...I went through the whole thing with SnugLid....just wanted to let you know.

A quick call to Scott at Lazerlite (who's also a member on this forum) should answer any warranty questions regarding installing the SRT-10 wing on one of their covers.
