It's not really installed. It just sits on the carpet. I guess it should be fastened in place, but it doesn't move around and I haven't figured out how to fasten it down. I was thinking of using some sort of stretchy straps. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the cutting-up, but all I did was determine how tall it needed to be, mark the cut line with masking tape and go at it with the jigsaw. I just used a square to make sure it would stand up straight. I lucked out and aced it with the first cut.

Thanks for the info. would you happen to have any pictures of it uninstalled? I'm just trying to get an idea of how you did yours. Mine will be in by the end of the week and hopefully I will have a game plan on how I want to get it mounted. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of it other than those I posted. As I stated in my previous post, it was quite straight forward. I just measured the height I needed, marked a horizontal line and cut it.

I can't take pictures of it now as The Burb is in winter storage, and have to wait until two pontoon boats move out of the way so I can get it out.

Got the Burb out of winter storage this week. Here are a few photos of the spare cover out of the vehicle. I put a piece of door edge protector on the cover because it just sits against the side wall of the vehicle. My cover stands about 18" tall.
