## Overview

The BAKFlip F1 Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover is a rugged, USA-made accessory designed specifically for Chevy/GMC Silverado and Sierra trucks (1988-2013) and 2014 2500/3500HD models with 6'6" beds. Featuring a super-rigid EPS core laminated with fiberglass-reinforced polymer and epoxy-coated aluminum, it offers 35% greater strength than similar covers. Its innovative folding design provides full bed access, while integrated water drainage and leak-proof seals protect cargo from weather. Easy, no-drill installation and a secure locking latch make it the ultimate upgrade for professionals who demand durability, convenience, and style.

## Description

The BAKFlip F1 tonneau cover has two main positions: Folded upright, giving you total access to your truck bed with rear window protection, and folded down, leaving you with a truck bed cover that locks into place to protect your cargo from both the weather and sticky-fingered bandits. But perhaps the most stand-out quality of the BAKFlip F1 truck bed cover is its ability to not just withstand, but excel in extreme work and weather conditions. You can leave the denting, cracking, warping, fading, rusting and corrosion to lesser tonneau covers, because this thing boasts a polymer top, leak-proof rubber seals and EPDM rubber hinges that are made to outlast your truck. They certainly won’t let you down the next time you need to haul cargo during a sudden downpour. The BAK team knows how to make quality products, and the BAKFlip F1 keeps up with its namesake with high-tech, bulletproof construction and a long list of design features. They started with a super-rigid EPS core and then sandwiched it between - or, rather, laminated it with - a fiberglass-reinforced polymer on top and an epoxy-coated aluminum on bottom. Ok, so it may not be "bulletproof." But, no would-be thieves are getting through that deck any time soon. When you add in the fact that the top of the cover can handle a load rating of 400 lbs, it makes the BAKFlip F1 35% stronger than its younger cousin, the BAK G2 - and puts it lightyears ahead of other truck bed covers on the market.

- When you need to load furniture or other large items in your bed, simply fold the F1 toward your cab and fasten the support struts

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BAKFlip F1 for Chevy silverado
*by R***W on June 15, 2012*

This is a great low profile Tonneau Cover for the Chevy Silverado. Fast delivery, accurate listing and operates as advertised on the BAK Industries web site. I installed this on my 2011 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab truck with a GM bed liner and rail caps. While the instructions were a bit general, I watched the videos on BAK Industries web site for the Chevy install and read some reviews on the GM-Trucks.com and silveradosierra.com for tips and insights. I was not surprised that I had to trim the bed liner at the front corners for proper fit which added a little time to the overall installation. I also installed the BakBox at the same time which I also ordered from Amazon. All-in-all, the install was simple and the cover was light enough for me to install by myself in about 2 hours. This is a very solid, versatile hard folding cover. I've had two non-fiberglass, non-folding hard covers and a soft folding cover on various trucks. While the non-folding covers where secure and water proof, I had to take them off a lot when carrying various loads. They were light enough to take off by myself, but so big and awkward, it took two people. The soft cover folded nicely (and I folded it a lot for various loads), but even though it was attached to a rigid frame, it flapped at highway speeds and leaked a lot under the heavy rains in Texas. So, I am looking forward to this cover as a cross between the others - hard enough to be secure, water resistant enough and yet fold-able enough that I won't have to take if off to use the full bed. Amazon service was great as usual with quick delivery (took 5 business days to arrive) and the had it in stock. A lot of web sites I viewed said it would take 5 business days just to ship.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny and many more
*by E***S on March 28, 2014*

I love this tonneau cover. It is extremely well made, and easy to install if you take your time. If you have a locking tailgate this cover makes your bed a secure place to store cargo. And in good old New England I don't drive around with ice and snow in my bed all winter long anymore. I sweep the snow off with a push broom as easy as pie.Only thing I would point out is that all the videos from the manufacturer show a single individual installing it, and I did do it myself alone, but it would be MUCH easier with 2 people. Mounting the bed rails is aggravating one person because their long and you are working at one end while the other end keeps trying to fall into the truck. Use some masking tape to hold them in place if you don't have an assistant. Also the cover itself is heavy and awkward for one person to lift into the bed and place and would be much easier with 2 people. And take your time aligning it once it's in place or it won't close properly. If it's aligned correctly all you need to do is flip the leaves over and their own weight will provide enough momentum to latch right into place. If it feels like it's binding at all adjust it little by little.Also the long gasket that they want you to put on top of the front bulkhead of the bed is not needed if you have a plastic or spray in bed liner that goes over the rails. The instructions do say you don't need it if you have a plastic one but doesn't mention if you have a spray on one. It left me a little uncertain if I should use it so I tried it and had to remove it which was a pain because it took putting the cover in place to realize that the cover won't sit properly with an "over the rails" liner. I think that gasket is only used if you have bed rail caps that make the top of the front bulkhead uneven with the sides.If you are installing it yourself, give yourself 2 hours. If you have a second person you can probably do it in about an hour.

### ⭐ Buyer beware of Amazon warehouse deals
*by P***I on December 28, 2013*

I ordered this cover for my truck because the price was great and only received the rails. This is the 2nd time they messed up my order. The 1st time they sent me the entire wrong item. They will not honor the price on another one or even try and find the correct one that you purchased. Then to add insult to injury I had to call them again to get the items removed from my bill after they said that my account was credited. After all that all Amazon will say is were sorry but you can order another one at twice the amount, Really I ordered it from warehouse deals to save money if I wanted to spend more I would have bought it direct from the manufacturer. Buyer beware!!!!!. If you want the wrong item or half of you order than Amazon warehouse (not such a) deal is the place for you.
