The BAKFlip F1 tonneau cover has two main positions: Folded upright, giving you total access to your truck bed with rear window protection, and folded down, leaving you with a truck bed cover that locks into place to protect your cargo from both the weather and sticky-fingered bandits. But perhaps the most stand-out quality of the BAKFlip F1 truck bed cover is its ability to not just withstand, but excel in extreme work and weather conditions. You can leave the denting, cracking, warping, fading, rusting and corrosion to lesser tonneau covers, because this thing boasts a polymer top, leak-proof rubber seals and EPDM rubber hinges that are made to outlast your truck. They certainly won’t let you down the next time you need to haul cargo during a sudden downpour. The BAK team knows how to make quality products, and the BAKFlip F1 keeps up with its namesake with high-tech, bulletproof construction and a long list of design features. They started with a super-rigid EPS core and then sandwiched it between - or, rather, laminated it with - a fiberglass-reinforced polymer on top and an epoxy-coated aluminum on bottom. Ok, so it may not be "bulletproof." But, no would-be thieves are getting through that deck any time soon. When you add in the fact that the top of the cover can handle a load rating of 400 lbs, it makes the BAKFlip F1 35% stronger than its younger cousin, the BAK G2 - and puts it lightyears ahead of other truck bed covers on the market.

Nice bed cover
This is a great, easy to install cover and it is pretty much water proof. The only issue I had with it is that the box didn't contain the hardware and drain tube kit. One call to BakFlip Industries and it was taken care of. They overnighted the hardware kit and drain tubes to me so I had them the very next day. This cover does everything as advertised that I can see. However, I'm not sure about the 400lb weight rating they give it, but I don't think I'm going to test that as it doesn't seem that important and I don't plan on using it for a scaffold. I went with this cover because it had the longer warranty than the other models, It doesn't have to be removed to load a large object. I had considered the roll up kind that are like a garage door, but I didn't like how the canister for them takes up about a foot at the front of the bed, nor did I like the fact that the side rails have to protrude into the inside of the bed more for the rolling track system.

BAKFlip F1 for Chevy silverado
This is a great low profile Tonneau Cover for the Chevy Silverado. Fast delivery, accurate listing and operates as advertised on the BAK Industries web site. I installed this on my 2011 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab truck with a GM bed liner and rail caps. While the instructions were a bit general, I watched the videos on BAK Industries web site for the Chevy install and read some reviews on the GM-Trucks.com and silveradosierra.com for tips and insights. I was not surprised that I had to trim the bed liner at the front corners for proper fit which added a little time to the overall installation. I also installed the BakBox at the same time which I also ordered from Amazon. All-in-all, the install was simple and the cover was light enough for me to install by myself in about 2 hours. This is a very solid, versatile hard folding cover. I've had two non-fiberglass, non-folding hard covers and a soft folding cover on various trucks. While the non-folding covers where secure and water proof, I had to take them off a lot when carrying various loads. They were light enough to take off by myself, but so big and awkward, it took two people. The soft cover folded nicely (and I folded it a lot for various loads), but even though it was attached to a rigid frame, it flapped at highway speeds and leaked a lot under the heavy rains in Texas. So, I am looking forward to this cover as a cross between the others - hard enough to be secure, water resistant enough and yet fold-able enough that I won't have to take if off to use the full bed. Amazon service was great as usual with quick delivery (took 5 business days to arrive) and the had it in stock. A lot of web sites I viewed said it would take 5 business days just to ship.

Great Cover, Almost
I would have given this review 5 stars had it not been for the long chain of emails that it took to get a warranty resolution cleared up. Bak Industries accused Amazon of selling a blemished product because the price was lower than most retailers. My top came with a small hole in the fiberglass caused by the tie-down D-ring. After many emails over several weeks Bak finally agreed that I bought a NEW cover and received one that was damaged. They shipped a new cover. Their online video instructions shows the installation of 8 shims in an extended cab standard box application. The cover only came with 6 shims, and the company claims 8 shims are for a long bed application. I referred them to their video with no response from them. If it wasn't for the bad experiences I would have given this product 5 stars. AMAZON, I give your price 10 stars.

Great looks and winter performance but needs more caulk or something between panels to seal better.
As far as looks and winter accessibility this cover is awesome. Can only give it 3 stars as it leaks slightly around edges where connects to box and around where rubber connects between panels on the flat. When traveling in non snow months where rain might be encountered, I cover my stuff up with a tarp under the cover. Bedliner ribs keep my stuff up high enough for water to run out. Stuff doesn't get flooded but heavy rain will get it wet.

Love it
I ordered this just a couple days after getting my truck. I was amazed that it was here the next day after placing the order. I did take the time to look at the video on line for installing this which was a big help. Instructions that come with it aren't great. Still it only took about 40 minutes to install. I love the way it fits and protects what is in the bed. If I had it do over I'd uy the same one again.

2012 Silverado BakFlip F1 - Great Product
The BakFlip F1 tonneau cover is an excellent quality product. Highly recommend if you are interested in any fold type hard tonneau cover for your truck. Installation was easy even for one person. Took less than 1 hour to install using simple hand tools. Gives you truck bed a nice finished appearance. I keep all my work tools and supplies in the bed of my truck... I am very pleased with how the tonneau cannot be opened without unlocking and lowering my tailgate first... I am also very please with how water tight the tonneau actually is... Had only a few drops of water during a real heavy rainstorm. I open and close my tonneau every day, so far no issues. Very pleased with my purchase. Two of my neighbors loved how the BakFlip tonneau looked and operated on my truck, that they purchased one for their trucks also. They both are very pleased... As for Amazon, A+++. Smooth transaction, great communication and super fast 2-day delivery!

TOP QUALITY
This cover is top quality and looks neat on the truck. I installed it myself after watching the installation video, which I would recommend doing to save time and questions. It took about an hour and there weren't any hang ups at all.I have researched various covers and liked this one the best. I would highly recommend it.
