Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BAKFlip F1 772108 work with a spray-in or drop-in bed liner?
Yes. The 772108 installs on the bed rails and clamps from beneath, so it is fully compatible with both spray-in and drop-in bed liners. No modification to the liner is required.
How does the BAKFlip F1 772108 lock?
The BAKFlip F1 772108 uses automatic slam-latch panels that engage against the aluminum side rails the moment each panel closes. Close the tailgate and the entire bed is secured without a separate key lock.
Is the BAKFlip F1 772108 weatherproof?
The 772108 uses premium EPDM rubber perimeter seals and a dual-action tailgate seal to block water infiltration. An integrated drain tube system channels any accumulated water safely away from the bed.
What is the weight capacity of the BAKFlip F1 772108?
The BAKFlip F1 772108 supports up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight on the closed cover, making it safe to carry gear or use as a stable work surface.
Can I access the full bed with the BAKFlip F1 772108 installed?
Yes. Fold all panels forward toward the cab, and the cover is secured in the upright position against the cab, giving you 100 percent access to the entire truck bed without removing the cover.
Does the BAKFlip F1 772108 require drilling for installation?
No drilling is required. The 772108 uses a clamp-on mounting system that attaches to the bed rail without any modification to the truck. Most installs are completed in under 30 minutes.
Does the BAKFlip F1 772108 block the 3rd brake light?
No. The BAKFlip F1 772108 is designed to keep the 3rd brake light fully visible in all cover positions, including the fully open position.
Is the BAKFlip F1 772108 compatible with the BAKBox2?
Yes. The 772108 is compatible with the BAKBox2 under-cover storage toolbox, allowing you to add secure, waterproof under-bed storage.
Installation Steps
- Lay the BAKFlip F1 772108 cover panels in the truck bed and unfold them fully from front to back.
- Position the aluminum side rails against the inside top lip of the bed rails on both sides of the bed.
- Slide the clamp assemblies into the rail channels and finger-tighten them at the front, center, and rear positions on each side.
- Check that the side rails are flush and level, then torque all clamps to the specification in the included instructions.
- Attach the tailgate seal to the tailgate using the provided adhesive strip, aligning it to seal against the rear panel of the cover.
- Connect the integrated drain tubes and route them through the bed rail drain holes or along the bed side.
- Open and close each panel to verify the automatic latches engage fully and the cover sits flat and even.
- Test the full-open position by folding all panels forward and securing the safety straps against the cab.
