How much weight does the BAKFlip hold?

The BAKFlip covers are rated to carry up to 400 pounds, depending on exactly which model you choose. See our product description for the weight rating for each.

Your order will also come with straps and buckles to hold the BAKFlip folded open, so you can drive with it.

Can my BAK tonneau cover get hail damage?

Yes, it is possible, but BAK makes a fiberglass version that is much more dent and ding resistant. We highly recommend the fiberglass over the aluminum tonneau covers if you live in an area that is susceptible to hail damage. The aluminum series provides better UV protection, but the fiberglass is the most dent and ding resistant.

Can I install my BAK tonneau cover myself?

Yes, most people are able to get their BAK tonneau cover installed and rolling within an hour or two!

We do recommend having a friend or family member give you an extra set of hands. The panels can be big and bulky, so have extra hands will make the process go a little smoother.
