Default Who makes this "Ford" hard cover?

I happened upon a really good deal on this used "Ford" hard cover ($30), but its in need of some small repairs. Can anyone tell me how i know who makes it? Mainly it needs some replacement weather stripping, so i was thinking i could maybe get some from the manufacturer. Also, any tips to make it waterproof? It definitely has some small gaps around the edges and the hinges.

I have the same one and love it. Better made than the two Bakflip covers that I had...unfortunately, have no idea who makes it...

I’m almost positive those are made by BakFlip. I’ve had 3 Bakflip covers and only 1 was totally waterproof out of the box. You can use foam weatherstripping from any hardware store/home improvement store. I used some good quality electrical tape for some of the hinges that were open on my current cover. You can also just get some clear flexible tubing to replace the drains. I got it used for $100 and have used it on two trucks, so I’m ok with a few minor fixes. For $30 you got a killer deal. I think it’s nearly impossible to get a 100% waterproof cover that is also as convienent and flexible as a folding cover (extang, Bakflip, etc). Once you resign yourself that it’s ok to see a few drops of water after a thunderstorm you’ll be much happier with your $30 purchase!

I have a FX3 gator cover, which looks similar, but I cannot tell from your photo.

Here is the link just in case

I had one of these on my 2010, if I recall when I looked into it I believe it was (or very similar) to the Bakflip F1.

It's REV, but they won't sell you any parts. Mine is missing support arm hardware, they offered to sell me a whole cover when I inquired.

Weird - I have that same cover. Bakflip confirmed it was theirs. I actually bought the kit to replace the D Rings with straps and buckles from them. Best upgrade ever I can now drive /w two panels open. It fit perfect:

WOW what an awesome deal! I paid $1100 new for my "18 5.0. Anyhow mine had a leak at the first fold and my dealer had to go through REV for the warranty. So I would start there! Good luck
