I just finished installing the bakflip tonneau cover on my screw. The install wasn't that bad, not as easy as they do it in the video tho. If it worked half as easy as it does in the video it would be a bad *** cover. I had problems with the clamps staying put. Every time I came to tighten them they would slide and fall off. They have grooves in them that match up to the rails but they still don't hold very tight. The cover doesn't just snap into place like they say it does either. It kinda does to an extent, but you have to slam it. It's also kinda hard to get the last to latches to close when the tail gate is closed. I was playing around with it for about an hour trying to get it lined up perfectly and it's still a little hard to close. It looks great tho. Here are a couple of cell phone pics.

Nice cover! I like the flush look, can you tell us what the cost was and where you purchased?

I am thinking of getting the Truxedo roll up soft cover and wanted to compare.

Thanks!

I got it from truckaddons.com They list it at $698 and their doing a $30 off promo right now so it was 668. Took almost 4 weeks to get it tho. I had to call them and ask them where it was, and there was a big mix up and they thought they shipped it out cause someone closed the ticket. I got it 3 days after I called.

Looks nice. How much does it weigh? I'd like to do the same but have to watch out for my max 1,047 pounds payload limit in my new Platinum.

I'll be overloading my Platinum on every trip I suppose...lol

Nice BakFlip SixSix!

I love the low profile design...looks super sharp!

I think the box said like 40lbs. It's alot heavier than I though it would be.

I really like the look and idea of this cover, but you mentioned that you have to slam it shut? I used to drive an Avalanche and those fit in just perfectly ... no effort in the slightest bit. BUT - they didn't fold up like this does so it lacked in feature a little bit.

Would you buy it again or go with a slightly different model?

Thanks sixsix. That'll keep me over a thousand on the payload if I get the same one. Again, it looks nice on yours!

I wanted a hard cover, but it's just not practical with a atv and all, so I wanted something that I could use the whole bed when I needed to. This was the only hard folding cover that does that. I would deff buy another one. I don't know what's the difference in the g2 and the hd, but I'd stick with the g2. Hopefully it'll hold up good for many years. I'm gonna try to adjust it out some more when it's not 100+ degrees outside.

Looks nice. I have the Truxedo Lo Pro Qt on my Screw. Love the functionality I get with it and really does look great.
