Default BAK BakFlip VP Installed

Thought I would throw a few of these on to show what the Bakflip VP looks like on our truck.

A short video.


I take my statement back in the video, I find that with a little extra weatherstripping around the front and rear corners and this thing seals up pretty well. Great cover, price is a little high, but overall I would recommend the VP to anyone.

It really is a a nice looking cover (IMO) The drop in bedliner is really what made this a PITA to install as I had to cut off a slot on the tailgate portion to make it fit. With a spray in bedliner this would not only be a breeze, but IMO would seal better overall against the elements. I have noticed it does leak and let water in, however, once again the POS drop in liner is the the culprit. It is a real PITA to cut the drain holes out and install the drain tubes as recommended, once again, with a spray in this would have been a cinch.

I was just wondering how the cover was holding up now that you have had it for a couple weeks. Any leaks? Did the rubber conform and sel up around the edges? I just got rid of my G2 for one of these cause it leaked bad. I am hoping the VP is more water tight.

I have a roll-x and it's not water tight, water gets in at the tailgate when it's parked. While moving I get no water in at all.

Yeah but water gets in on the tailgate corners mostly, and a little under the flap that runs along the entirety of it.
