Default BakFlip help/question

Can someone please provide pics of how and where they did the drain tubes for their BakFlip cover?? I receive my BakFlip G2 this coming Wednesday and want to install it immediately but I was wondering where the drainage goes. My bed has been line-x'd including the two oval looking 'caps' at the front of the bed and didnt know if this would cause a problem or not. Also how I would go about getting through the line-x if possible to do the drain tubes.

Any advice and pictures would be greatly appreciated....the more the merrier.

Thanks in advance...

eek... my only guess would be to drill... I left my liner till after I put in my Bakflip for this reason. Not sure if anyone else has any other ideas.

There is NO drilling required.... I had my bed line-x'ed as well.

When you install the Bakflip, near the Bakflip drain... there is a hole PRE-drilled from the factory... in the stake pocket.. its about 3 inches from the actual Bakflip drain...that is where you install the drain tube...

Hope this helps...

This is also exactly what I did. Sorry I don't have any pictures right now.

I haven't done it yet but I'm going to drill holes in the plastic plugs at the front of the bed like this.

I have a Bakflip HD, and I just drilled a hole the diameter of the drain tube in the plastic oval at the front of the bed. If one wishes to maintain a moisture preventive seal, you can silicone around the tubes where they meet the plastic oval. The guy above me must have been submitting his post as I was typing... exactly like that.

Do you happen to have a picture or could you get one for me so I could see where your talking about? I'd appreciate it


Thanks for the pic shortride and thank you also T-Rex
