GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

clf2427 · October 11, 2020

Does anyone know if the Bakflip CS rails will fit with the GM Rev Cover? I just purchased a 2020 AT4 and got the REV cover from the dealer. I'd like to be able to take long trips where I store luggage under the cover and store kayaks and SUP boards on the rails of a rack system above the cover while towing a boat. I had assumed their were plenty of options for rack systems above a Tonneau cover and am just now realizing that they are few and far between. Worried I may have made a mistake.

Pretty sure they are the same top so it should work

I'm waiting for my new 2021 RST to show up ... yay. I want to put a folding hard cover on but don't want a recall mess, water leaks, or the other horror stories. Who has the Fold a Cover G4 elite? I think the Rev was recalled.

I bought a rev thru dealer and have had no problems

Fold a cover has been closed since April as they are in Michigan

Yep I tried to order it thru GM and was told it was no longer being made due to plant shutdown.

well crap. i thought the Rev was recalled. Do you have any trouble with leaks? is it the hard folding one?

Yes it hard folding one..exact same thing as bak flip..it’s 98% water proof..definitely a couple of spots that have some drips

OP -

I know the situation has changed a lot since your original post and review, but I wanted to say that I thought your review was very well done. Balanced, thorough, and fair. You don't see that too often on the interweb. Nice work.

I must have watched at least 20 reviews and install videos on YT while deciding on what to order. I ended up going with the MX4, and am very happy with it. I installed it on a colder day, and the texture of the spray in liner doesn't do much to promote adhesion of the front foam gasket. I installed it a couple of weeks ago, and it has been through a couple of rain storms and a car wash. Minimal leaks at the front corners, but otherwise the bed was dry. Most of the time I will just have my golf bag in the bed, along with a soft sided samsonite golf organizer (shoes, balls, towels, rain gear, etc).

After seeing the small amount of water that got in, I am fairly confident that my stuff will stay dry. I'm on the fence about getting the BedRug mat (not the entire thing) just to get stuff up off the floor of the bed. Time will tell.

I got the bedrug mat and am happy with it. Covers only the bed (not sides) and makes it easier to slide stuff in and out and protects both the stuff and the spray in liner.

I just installed the MX4 on my new truck. VERY happy with it.

BTW, thank you for your honest review.

I think I’m going to remove the foam weather strip that came with my MX4 tomorrow. That is the one spot I seem to be getting the most water in the bed during a storm. I put it on when it was below 70 outside, so I’m sure it didn’t stick very well. I may look for a low profile rubber one in the spring.

none of these are waterproof. some get lucky and don't have intrusion. i finally got the Rev rolling cover and love it. sooooooooo handy. i do get a little water in when i wash it but i have a bed mat in it and it is just enough to keep cargo dry. works perfect. and i love my little diesel. 28 mpg around town!
