Default Bakflip G2 ?

So after reading all the posts here comparing tonneau covers , I took the plung and ordered a Bakflip G2 for my 2015 F150 XLT. I have watched the installation video and looks pretty straight forward. Just wondering if anyone has any hints or things I should watch for? Also I have the 6.5 box with factory spray in liner. Just wondering where the drain hoses are routed ? There is a small hole at the top of each side down a few inches that looks like it might be where it would go.

I installed mine last night in 15 minutes in the dark. It is very very simple.

The dealer installed mine. They drilled through each of the plastic plugs on the front wall of the bed.

As others have pointed out, it's simple - just make sure the rubber edge seals are flat against the bed rails.
The cover has been exactly what I wanted. Good luck!

Here's a tip I learned on mine. If your rubber seals don't lie flat on the bed frame because of being folded at the seams from shipment, take a heat gun or hair dryer and heat the wrinkled location on the rubber seal up. The rubber has memory to it and will lie flat with a little heat. Be careful with a heat gun as they get really hot, to not melt the bed plastic or rubber seal.
