So the 6 clamps, the hold-down hand nuts, strut bars, and clips were not included? I bet Bakflip will send them out fast, I've heard a lot of good things about their service; I personally haven't had to ask them for anything (yet?).

 

Edit: and the weather strip for the bulkhead...

 

Correct, all of those things were not included. I spoke to Bak Customer service this morning and they are working on it. They said they will ship the missing parts out as soon as possible from either their warehouse or direct from manufacturer depending on which will arrive to me quicker. So far, so good (except that it wasn't included originally :D )

Questions for Fold a Cover users.

 

- Can you open and close the tailgate without opening the cover? Looking at quite a few videos and none of them shows the tailgate being opened and closed with the cover fully closed.

 

- Any issues with installation on a 2016 Denali with the factory bedliner?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can open and close the tailgate with the cover closed. The only issue would be the weatherstrip on the rear panel would be tucked in instead of laying across the top of the tailgate. There could be a water intrusion issue then.

 

The FAC should fit on the Denali with the factory bedliner. The FAC rails sit on top of the bed rails.

I'm still trying to decide which bed cover to buy. I've looked at every brand and model I've been able to find that would work best for my needs.

 

There's definitely advantages and disadvantages to each brand/style, really no wrong answer so it seems, depends mostly on how you plan to use it the most.

 

A family member has the FAC G4 Elite, I'm very familar with how it functions and it's pretty versatile in function. Another guy I know has a Re-trax, he likes it a lot but not sure it's right for me. Most of the other brands lack something I'd prefer to have, like front panel opening or rear panel opening without the need to open the tailgate each time. I guess I'm leaning towards FAC the most but it's not the perfect solution either.

I'm happy with my ReTrax. They're spendy but nice.

My missing hardware package arrived from Bak 5 days after requesting it. I wish the delivery would have been a little faster since it was their mistake initially, but I'm happy with the product since getting it on the truck. It is a good fit and I like the way it looks.

Looks good. I didn't hook up my drain tubes but if I have water issues I will.

Thanks for the info.

Tonno Pro is a nice brand to look at. Not that well known but super quality and low price.

If you need any accessories, would love to help. We have couple of toys at www.eTruckGear.com and offer honest service ( with 100 % positive Amazon feedback we try hard to be there for the customer)

Stop by on Internet and take a look. We are also Weathertech approved, meaning warranty applies as opposed to purchases on Amazon. Don't like Weathertech? We have Husky or Maxliner. Will be glad to help.

well, my BAK Roll-X has decided to recently take a turn for the worst. Huge cracks in the vinyl near the tailgate which are hurting its water proofing capabilities and one of the slats keeps dislodging from the neighboring slat so it won't close properly every time.

 

Its only 3 years old and spends almost all the time in a parking garage out of the sun. Take warning for anyone considering purchasing one

I'm looking for a bed cover, but many of the vendors tell me that their covers won't fit with the factory cargo management system. Hard or soft. Have any of you had v similar issues, and found any answers??

I have the bakflip VP. Only installed for about 18 months. Now, Cover is very flemsy and the hinges are showing through. Just a heads up for anyone out there considering. Only had a 1 year warranty. I love the cover besides the fast wear and tear. Starting to see some water when it rains but maybe a small adjustment could fix that

Not looking to spend a ton, $300-$400, for a tonneau cover. Based on the research that I have done, seems the Gator Roll up and the Truxedo Lo Pro fit the bill...I am looking for a low profile, and both of these sit about .5" above the bed. Any other that I should look at?

 

Thanks!

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
