Default BAKflip F1 '12 SCREW 5.5'

Installed it last week. After reading other reviews on here I looked up the install video online and didn't even bother with the provided instructions. Install was a breeze. I did have to notch the upper corners of my Ford drop in bedliner for the rails to fit forward enough. At first I didn't want to drill into my bedliner for the drains but after a couple of rains my bed was starting to fill up with water up front from the drains. Drilled through the liner and drain plugs on the bed and put the tubes through and I now have a dry bed! I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Tip: Take a hair dryer or heat gun to the rubber all the way around. This will help with the seal immediately.

I have the same cover and love it. So far not one drop of water inside.

It really is a great cover. I think the only issue I have with it is the dent it put in my wallet...

I was really on the fence about buying this cover. I read some reviews about how this cover still leaked. I think with proper instillation it should be good. Looks like I'll be getting this soon.

The only time I can get water in is to spray it with a high pressure hose at a horizontal angle...not exactly a real world driving experience. You will be happy with this cover, just make sure it's installed correctly as you said.

Has anyone tried the Bakflip VP? I hear you don't have to run drain tubes for this one.
