chris918 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I just bought the backflip f1 tone cover for my 2016 silverado double cab I should have it Friday or Saturday the latest I was wondering if anyone that has installed these the f1 or mx4 can give me any pointers or advice or anything I should know prior would be a huge help. also was wondering has anyone used silicone sealant at the non moving points to help keep out water ?

Orlando8 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Its a simple install, if you follow directions completely it will not leak. Its only when people dont follow them that there are issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveradoh Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yea, piece of cake, shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. Maybe just have a helper for moving the top around, but that’s about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthery Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Mount the weatherstripping on the very back edge of the front of the bed. Make sure your drain tubes aren't kinked. After you drop the Bakflip on the frame, you can open it up and slide it forward or backward. Once you get it in position, crawl up in the bed and install the washers and hand nuts. If you try to fold it all the way open it will move out of place. It's an easy install....took me less then 30 minutes start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardz Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Had mine for years, g2 backflip. Easy as pie to install and mine don’t leak a drop that I’ve noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenkeeper Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Dealership threw mine in as part of the deal to get me to purchase my truck. No leaks. Only issue I have ever had, aft "locks" come "out of rig" with use. About a year ago, the trailing edge (tailgate) kept flying up off of the bedrail and tailgate. They're easy to "dial in."
