The sunshade is a new type of awning that can be used to create a bigger covered outdoor space for cooking or sitting & relaxing while your food is cooking. Here's how to set it up.
The sunshade connects to the tailgate.
Pegs are supplied but only useable in grass or other soft surfaces. Grass in summer could be too hard for the pegs.
If on a sealed surface, you can tie the long ropes off to rocks, trees, or other objects with some weight to them.
Setting it up is easier with two people but also achievable with just one person.
Step 1
Grab the end of the fabric with the two short ropes.
Place and then centre the end of the fabric with the two short ropes on top of the tailgate as shown.
Step 2
Pull the short ropes (one on each side) so they are even in length with one bit in each hand.
Loop one end around the gas strut that holds the boot open and feed this end through the end clip.
Pull the rope firmly back down into the narrow end of the clip so it grabs into the teeth of the end fitting.
The rope won't be secure until it has grabbed properly into the narrow end of the fitting.
Step 3

Once both sides are secured correctly you can set up the poles and peg the long ropes in or tie them off onto other objects around you.
Other useful tips
For fine weather use only. Do not use in medium-high winds
The sunshade is only water-resistant, not water-proof.
Remember to pack away the pegs and double check all the parts are packed away before moving on.
