Nice vid. Wish I saw this earlier.
I went to the shop yesterday afternoon and spoke with the shop manager. He insisted they HAD to drill through the metal of the bed to install the drain tubes. I still insisted they use the the plastic stakes already in the bed. As far as drilling into the cab he called it moronic and chewed the worker out. They are going to fix the cab part. Too late to do anything about the holes in the bed. He was very apologetic.

That wouldent cut it for me.
I honestly dont no what would have made me happy
At the very least that G2 and install would be free.

The Extang Solidfold would be a good choise, easy on easy off, no drilling, went thru a bad rainstorm in San Antonio this weekend and no signs of moisture in the bed.

I bought the Bakflip VP it's one of their newer products. Low profile I prefer the look of the Tonneau's that sit flush with bed.

Even the ones that require a drain tube do not require you to drill anywhere into the body of the truck they drill into a plastic grommet that's in the bed of the truck.....


Anyways the Bakflip VP is a tri-fold cover but it also has a vinyl top making it one of the most water tight folding tonneau's available since the hinges aren't exposed. Very happy with the product in both torrential rain falls and high pressure washes.

Default Acces cover..

Had access cover installed. Do they have to drill? Never thought about it quite frankly. Had one on previous truck with zero issues. Thanks.

BakFlip VP Overview - YouTube
+1 the best looking and easiest install of any cover in my opinion
