Mine leaked.....ordered a Peragon. wow, nice product BUT (yep this is a big but). It leaks like the titanic. Its installed correctly, its square, leaks horribly.
I went back and rechecked everything but no luck, it just leaks.
At freeway speeds you can look in the rearview and see the panels raise up and down as wind pushes on them.I think this is bc they are all independent panels.
its a shame.

you guys should give the extang solid fold a try. Doesn't have the flush mount look because of sitting on top of the bed rails but you also don't have to mess around with drainage channels and drain hose on the inside of the bed and I think it is more reliably water tight or resistant because of that. I really like my extang thus far.

Just a question for the Bakflip owners. I was thinking of getting one, but may reconsider now.
My bed rail is dead on level, would this affect the way water drains into the tubes up front?

Seems like just a few are having water coming in. I've ordered a Bak Flip F1 and I'm not worried in the least . I'm installing it next weekend and I'll post on how watertight it is (or isn't)

Mine always leaked no matter what. At the tailgate and on both sides of the bed dead smack in the middle of the rails. It didn't pour in but it leaked enough that I couldn't keep anything in there that wasn't supposed to get wet.
My new extang revolution keeps the bed completely dry.

4.1 inches of rain in the last 36 hours and not a drop in the bed. I have noticed the two nuts on the front panel have backed out a little, so they will now get drilled and a safety wired, like we do on aircraft bolts.

Mine leaks just like yours.
I took it back to the dealer (Capit in Richmond BC) to take a look. They put a hose on it and tried to figure it out, but no luck.
Kind of a bummer.
