   It’s not obvious how these rails are attaching. I have the 2010 Tundra DoubleCab 77″ Bed and can see pre-drilled holes along the upper part of the bed under the black plastic runner. I don’t have existing rails. I would love it if somehow there was a specific picture or video on how this connects.

   The best way to see how the rails connect is to actually watch the video installation of a BakFlip on a 2010 Tundra. Here’s a link to do so:

   Thanks for the response Julian.

   Now that I’ve taken a closer look, I’m understanding your rail is clamped on in-between the inner metal lip (that my black plastic runner is attached to) and the rail itself. The rail butts up against the black plastic runner but doesn’t directly clamp onto the plastic.

   How come mine didn’t come with the rubber stops to protect my cab like the video?

   How come the one in the video doesn’t have the bad wrinkles in the rubber like mine does where it leaks on the edges?

   I think maybee mine must be a model that was not so good and that is why is has the wrinkles in the rubber on the edges.

   If anyone wants pictures just email me. landonok@pldi.net

   I forgot to mention that my truck is a new 2010 Toyota Tundra Crewmax, and if the rubber didn’t have all the wrinkles it would be super.

   Larry,

   The rubber side seals often come with wrinkles when the box is first opened, because of the cover being shipped in a small box. When the cover sits in the sun for an hour or so the wrinkles will most certainly disappear. Yours is not defective at all.

   With regard to the rubber bumpers: Yours are taped to the underside of your covers panel that’s closest to the cab. Because the covers touch your cab in different places and these can vary from truck to truck, you will need to peel and stick these on yourself. If you’ve misplaced yours, we will be glad to ship you replacements.

   Regards,

   Julain

   Do you have a installation video for a Honda Ridgeline?

   I appears that the Ridgeline’s BAKFlip F1 cover is at a higher elevation at the front of the truck than at the rear is this correct?

   If so, does the rail drainage system (which drains to the front) function properly?

   I did purchase one for my Ridgeline and it shipped today, so I want to be ready for a flawless install

   Hi Bob,

   We have written install instructions for the Ridgeline. Unfortunately no video for that application yet. With that said, the drains do work well, but are less needed than in most applications because the Ridgeline bed tilts lower at the tailgate and higher at the cab end, which is opposite to conventional pickups. As such, the vast majority of water will just drain backwards and out of the bed. The drain tubes for the Ridgeline will run into the little recessed holes on the floor near your cab. You can call us at (818) 365-9000 if you need any tech assistance and we’d be happy to help.

    I would like to know if the Bakflip will fit my 2002 ford supercrew 5.5 bed?

    How do I install a Bakflip G2 in a 2001 F150 with a bedliner?

    I have a drop in bed liner in a ford 150 supercrew. The liner covers the drain holes in each corner so can’t run the drain tubes into the holes. What do you suggest? I thought about cutting a hole in the bed liner but hope you have a better solution.

    Just run the tubes behind the liner. A best place is where the holes are that allow you to access your tie downs.

    Regarding the Tundra install, I have the factory bedliner on my 2012. Your video does not show install with bedliner, nor can I find any information trolling the interwebs regarding this. Can the Bakflip HD be installed on a 2012 Tundra with bedliner without modification?
