BakFlip F1 Tonneau Cover

Fantastic product.

A++, everything I wanted!

Cover looks really nice but it leaks. Would have returned it but don’t want to be charged a restocking fee. Will purchase a different cover once more covers are available for my truck.

I love the looks of the cover and the fact that I can lock it up but it takes a while to get the locking mechanism to work but I think I can fix it.

Siderails adhesive strip were not adhered to rails and were sticking to protective shipping plastic. One siderail strip was cut 2” short. I had purchase a similar adhesive strip to fill the gap. Front truck bed gasket’s packing rubber bands were so tight they permanently deformed the gasket. For a BakFlip F1 you would expect better workmanship.

Being older it is for sure a two person job to set in place.

Product is as advertised for style and fit. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. Design is flat, glossy finish with a relatively simple installation. My issue is the unit arrived with scratches and there is no mention of how or what type of touch up paint is required. I would also consider that knowledge to be a key part of maintenance in the future. In addition the cable release system becomes loose and hangs down in the be 2-3 inches after only a couple of uses. This could be an issue depending on your cargo.

The Bak Flip F1 appears to be good quality. I purchased one for a 2013 Ridgeline. The good...panels are nice and have a non reflective black surface. The design appears to be fairly good. The bad... The two side rails that were delivered appeared to have been modified from some other model to fit the Ridgeline. The front mounting holes were improperly located and the rails had been hand cut out on the underside to fit over the rear sidewall near the tailgate. The problem is that it took much longer to clean up the rough edges and file out the front holes to fit, install/ emove several times. Also the otherwise powder coated rails were compromised. Also, there was not a proper seal for the center mounting screw and the drain tube coupling was missing on one side. It needs a rubber block to insert in the recess on the side to seal the rail. In addition, I had to purchase some counter sink screws, (6 and 8mm) x 2" long, for the middle and front mounts as the head on the provided screws was too high for the panel to fit between the two sides. However, it is installed, had one leak on the center side, used tape to seal it for now.

I bought this cover for my pickup 2 years ago. I works and looks great. I've had many compliments on nice it looks on my Dodge Ram. My friend asked me about my tonneau cover and while he was in my area, we ordered one for his Dodge Ram. It arrived within 5 days and today I helped him install it. It took less than an hour and looks great!
