The BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover is quite simple to install, and best of all installations are virtually identical amongst all models! Simply clamp the rails to the side rail of your truck (3 clamps per side) and attach cover to the rails! You can find BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover installation instructions for some of the most popular trucks above. Unless noted below...all instructions for all other trucks are the same!

Frequently Asked Installation Instructions:

• DO I have to drill any holes in my truck?
  
  Absolutely NOT! With the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover you never drill holes in your truck. You will need to drill 2 small holes into the Mounting Rail of the cover to install, however no holes are ever drilled in the truck!



• How long does it take to install the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover?
  
  A professional installer can install the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover in as fast as 10 minutes. The average consumer can install one in about 30 minutes.



• Does this cover work with "flip out" Bed Extenders that flip over onto the tailgate?
  
  Absolutely! The BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover works with all Bed Extenders.



• Do the factory installed plastic side rail covers that came with my truck (Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Chevy/GMC, 06 & Up Dodge, etc.) need to be removed?
  
  Absolutely Not! You can install the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover directly on top of ALL OEM factory rails with NO modification whatsoever.



• I have a Chevy/GMC or Dodge with an Oversized Tailgate Protector that is flat on the top and comes off of the back of the truck a couple of inches. Will I need to remove this?
  
  Absolutely not! The BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover sits on top of these bed protectors perfectly, so you do not have to make any modifications to your tailgate protector at all!



• I have a sprayed on bedliner that goes over the side rails. Do I need to make any modifications to my bedliner or truck before installing the cover?
  
  Absolutely not! Simply install as you normally would (directly on top of your sprayed on bedliner). NO modifications are necessary as the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover works with ALL spray on liners or plastic side rails.



• What adjustments must be made to install this cover on the Nissan TITAN with the Utili-Track System?
  
  To install the BAKFlip Foldable Truck Bed Cover on the TITAN, you simply unbolt the Utili-Track, and flip the track over (with the functional side of the Utili-Track rail still facing into the bed). Flipping and re-installing the Utili-Track lowers the track by 1 inch from under the side rails which is just enough to clamp down the RollBak rails properly.
  
  NOTE: This is a wonderful feature! Many customers ask if the hardware can bolt directly into the Utili-Track system. The answer is "NO" but it gets better. If the hardware were to bolt directly into the Utili-Trac System, you would have very little (if any) usable Utili-Track area to mount other accessories. This simple "work around" allows you to simply flip the "Utili-Track" over, which lowers it by only one inch. This means that you WILL NOT LOSE any of your ability to use the Utili-Track for tie downs as the mounting rails will be clamped directly above it.



• What adjustments must be made to install this cover on the 2005 and up Nissan Frontier with the Utili-Track System?
  
  None. The cover installs normally to the side rail and has enough room to clamp the hardware above the Utili-Track without any modifications whatsoever. This means that this is a normal installation, PLUS your Utili-Track is completely open to install any and all of your other Utili-Track Accessories!



• I have diamond plate side rail covers. Can this cover be installed over diamond plate side rail covers or do I need to remove them?
  
  Your diamond plate side rail covers will need to be removed. The rails cannot attain a good weather resistant seal against diamond plate bed caps.



• I have a plastic bedliner in my truck. Do I have to make any modifications to the bedliner to install the cover?
  
  That depends on what type of plastic bedliner you have.
  
  IF YOUR PLASTIC BEDLINER GOES UNDER THE SIDE RAILS (but goes up and over the front rail and tailgate): NO PROBLEM! You will not need to make any adjustments to the plastic bedliner to install this cover.
  
  IF YOU HAVE A TAILGATE PROTECTOR: Tailgate protectors do not present any problem for this cover. Whether you have a factory installed or an aftermarket tailgate protector or if your tailgate liner comes over the top edge of your tailgate, none of these will present a problem when installing the cover.
  
  IF YOUR PLASTIC BEDLINER GOES OVER THE SIDE RAILS: YOU MUST MODIFY YOUR BEDLINER to install this cover! Some retailers simply say "fits on all bedliners!" This is not the straight up truth. This cover will fit if you carve 3 holes in each side to be able to clamp the rails to the bed. What we have found is that no matter how neat we do this, it always looks shabby. As a result, the best recommendation and the bottom line is that we strongly recommend that you trim the portion of the bedliner that comes over the side rails so that the side wall of the plastic bedliner goes up to and UNDER the rail, but not over the side rail. The reason for this is that over-the-rail bedliners prevent you from being able to clamp the hardware to the side rails as they cover them up. These side rails need to be trimmed off so that the RollBak Tonneau's side mounting rails can be clamped to the inside lip of the side rail.
  
  If you are making this adjustment, this is a great opportunity for you to convert your over-the-rail plastic bedliner into an under-the-rail bedliner (where the liner only overlaps the front rail and the tailgate edge)! These over-the-side rail bedliners must be cut back so not to interfere with the truck's original side rails. To cut the liner's rail covers off is a fairly simple and straightforward process that allows the secure installation of the mounting rails to your truck rails. To request that the customer trim these plastic side rail covers off of your one-piece liner is not a unique request. To ensure a weather resistant barrier with the installation of any tonneau cover, and to be able to clamp the mounting brackets onto the side rails, you must remove the part of the bedliner that covers the side rails. PLEASE DO NOT CUT OFF THE PORTION OF THE BEDLINER THAT COVERS THE FRONT RAIL OR TAILGATE.
  
  PROCESS OF TRIMMING an Over the Rail Bedliner is as follows: To cut the liner, this is a fairly simple process that requires you to slide the one-piece liner out of the bed, then clamp a straight edge along the line where you wish to cut the cover (right at or just below the rail, not above it). From there, a jigsaw with a fine blade works great and you simply follow the straight edge with the saw. Any burs or rough edges can be smoothed out with a file or sandpaper. Others are successful using the same straight edge tactic from outside of the liner using a razor knife. They remove the liner from the truck, and from outside of the liner, they use a razor knife to cut the rail off. The most preferred method is to use a jigsaw.
  
  ***NOTE: Some Aftermarket Plastic Bedliners have designs that may interfere with the installation of the canister. If this happens, some trimming of the front edge of the bedliner near the cab rail may need to be done for the canister to be installed properly. To have to do this is actually a pretty rare occurrence and in most situations, your typical plastic bedliner at the front rail will not require any modification.



• I plan to occasionally remove the cover and put a "slide-in camper" into the truck bed. Will I need to remove the mounting rails?
  
  You will need to remove the mounting rails so they are not damaged by the slide-in camper. This will ensure that the mounting rails do not get damaged in any way.
