I noticed about a month ago there was some "sagging" towards the rear. It has since gotten much worse As you can see from the pics, the problem is now with the first section and the third. I can assure you that the cover has been well taken care of. Nothing has ever been placed on the top of the cover to damage, etc. When I reached out to Bak, their solution was to send me some 3M tape as I am out of warranty. Good looking cover, but doesn't hold up.

Sorry you had this happen. That's one I can cross off the list to look at when I go to purchase one.

well to Baks credit they stood behind their product.....I was outside of the warranty by one month and they honored it knowing they had a flawed product on their hands...sent me the MX4 cover as a replacement...I'm please with the result...nice cover

Old thread here but I have had the exact same problem with my VP. Only been on my truck for 5k miles. I was a year and a half out of warranty and BAK, to their credit, offered to replace it. I don't use my truck very much and therefore I don't cycle the cover very often. I appreciated their generous offer but threw it in the trash and went with a Peragon.

I've seen this problem a couple times with the VP cover. This does not occur on the other models that Bak sells. To their credit they do try and stand behind this when it happens. I realize this post is a year old and they've made changes since then with the VP and I have not heard of recent problems like this occurring.

I always recommend their other covers like the G2 or Mx4 so that there is never the potential of this happening to the cover.
