The 05 Black H2 SUT we bought came with a tonneau cover but it is not on. I was wondering how hard it is to put on, does anyone know? I have all the parts to do it, I am just not sure where to start or how to do it.
Thanks!
Marc

Is any part of it installed on the truck? The reason I ask is because, if the rails are installed, the lid is easy to put on. If the whole thing needs installed, you might want to get the dealer to do it. It even takes them 2 to 3 hours to install one.

Yes, the rails are on but the part that connects to cover to the rails is not (the two "arms" that hold it up).
I can see the rails on each side but there is nothing in the rails. Is that what you mean?

If the rails are on the truck, then all you need to do is put the top on. If they took it off the easy way, you should only have to mess with 6 bolts.
At the base of each shock there should be three holes on the brackets. If everything is on there right, they should line up with the rails near the back.
If you need pic's of mine installed, let me know.

I need pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
The rails are installed but have quite a few parts (screws, bolts and brackets) that are just in a bag. I assume the brackets have to be installed also, I am not sure how it goes together though. I will go take some pics of how it looks and post them.

You don't have the rails on there. Did he give you the side rails? I don't see them in the pic.
To install the whole thing, it can take hours. I would not want to do it Hummer had a crappy design with the cover. It is way to involved to take the whole thing off and on.
Here are some pic's of mine, and you can see the side rails. Once the cover is on, you can remove the 3 hex bolts at the bottom of the shock on each side. This will remove the cover and leave everything else there so you don't have to line it up again.
Pardon the dirt
