Default Bakflip with drop in bed liner question

Does the part of the liner that wraps around the bulkhead need to be cut away before installing the G2?
It doesn't come in the mail until tomorrow, but I just wanted to get a heads up.

Thanks!

Got it in last night with the help of my 2y.o. and 4 y.o. boys.
Took about 45 min. (could have been 30 min. without the boys)
I still need to adjust it a little bit and trim the tailgate bed liner. The rails fit a little too tight against it.

My 2 year old was playing with one of the stay arms, over extended it towards the middle of the bed and snapped the black plastic socket.
I called Bakflip and a new one is on its way covered under warranty.

Great product, great company.

Question, The fist fold/pivot point does not have locks/latches, is this normal? 6.5' bed
Thanks

My Bakflip just has a cable to release the first panel. I cut notches in the bedliner at the end of the bed to run the drain tubes. I capped off the ones in the rear.

Mine too, but when I flip up the first panel, the front of the second panel has nothing. I was wondering if this was normal.

Didn't do it yet, but I think I am going to drill a hole in the corner of the liner and let it drain between the liner and the bed.

or, try to drill through the liner and the oval plug in the bulkhead and go through that way.

My F1 has a release cable on each panel.
