Today on our 2008 Chevrolet Silverado we're doing a test-fit of the Thule GateMate Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack, that part number is TH824. This is designed to work with full-sized trucks, so we already have it placed on our vehicle. All we had to do was set it just over the edge here, and make sure that our bumpers on each end are facing up. What that's going to do is prevent anything from sliding off of your tailgate pad. The next thing we'll do is open up our hook and loop cover here, and we're just going to open the tailgate. I find this is the easiest way because I am too short to reach over the top of the tailgate to feed my straps though. I'm just going to straighten my strap out and feed it through underneath into the crack here between the tailgate and the bed of the truck. more

First thing we want to do is set it on our tail gate, and make sure that this pads on the ends are sticking in straight up under our flap here, and because I do have short arms I can't quite reach over the tailgate so how I'm going to feed my straps through is that I'm going to hold the tailgate pad here with my leg or my hip, and I'll straighten out the strap. I'll come around and I'm going to feed it through under the tailgate. If you're a little bit taller you can always just reach over the tailgate and crack the tailgate a little bit. Once you pull that strap through, I'm just going to tack that pad under that bumper there. Take our strap, feed it through the top, and back down through the bottom here, and we want to keep that loose so it's not to tight on there, and i'll fix that under the bumper once I'm done. more
