Anyone used BakFlip bed covers?`
 
I am about to order a bed cover and I love the design of these BakFlips. They fold all the way up to the bed and can support 500lbs on top of the cover when it is closed. These things are pretty much anti corrosive and should have a long life. Anyone have any experience with these or similar?

I have the Extang version. http://extang.com/docs/solidfold.html

POS. Leaks terribly. Extang tells me they don't guarantee their covers to be waterproof. I asked what good the cover was then? I will say it goes on and off easy and I like how you can fold the sections up to use the bed. The hinged joints are sealed by small rubber rope seals that won't stay in their channels so it leaks if you pi$$ near the truck, let alone in a good downpour.

For a grand it better be water proof! I need to look around and see what they offer. Supposedly they create the bed covers for the escalade and avalanche.

Great cover unless you have a power rear sliding window that you like to use. Those covers rattle like a b!tch and with the rear window open it is really annoying.

u must be cornfuzed cause the rolltop is a tight cover and locks in with no rattle at all :coolcowboy:i do have a power slider but with that new invention they call AIR CONDITIONING no need to open the window and with the Stereo & T.V. could never hear it anywho :lolhit:

Not confused at all. I have a friend that had a Retrax roll-top cover on his F-250. When you opened the rear slider, you could hear the material the roll-top is made of rattle. It was pretty annoying. So much so that he did not buy another one when he bought a different truck. Air Conditioning? We still use the old 455 method of cooling the vehicle interior in these parts!

I like the lower profile over the Extang. Nice.
