There are factory drains in the front floor area of the bed unless you have a spray in liners or a Bedrug.

BAK is sending me a new cover and recalling the old one so they can check it out. I think Francisco is gonna be in trouble since his name is on it.

Got my F1 installed today on the 13' FX4. Routed the tubes through these handy little holes, tested them out drain right through the fenders.

Did you get your new cover? How was it and how did you send the defective one back?

I did get the new cover. It was no better than the old one, actually a little worse. Both sides were not sliding up far enough so I put the original one back on.

They did not send a call tag or ask for it back so I actually just have it sitting in my garage as a spare if I ever need it.

Sorry to hear that. They are shipping me a new one and told me they would really check it out to make sure it was top quality. Now I am worried. They told me to call them when I had the new one on and the old one ready to come back and they would send FedEx out for pickup. I will post info on the quality of the replacement when I get it. You would think that as simple as this thing is, they could at least get the obvious (latches, seals, sliding brackets) right. These things are not that complicated. I believe they have a good product, but definitely need to get a grip on their process control.

I purchased one mid-December for $762 from amazon and installed it last week. Fit and quality were good to go. I dropped the rail during installation and broke the rod holder clip but a replacement is only $0.75. I'm happy with mine. No major leaking so far. QA/QC looked good to me.
