I don't, but I'll try to get some this weekend and put them up for you.Do you have pics after install ?
Same one here....love the cover but I also have some water leakage in the rear.I've got a BAKFlip Revolver X4S. Love it so far. I'm still having some water ingress during rain in the front and back (probably due to around tailgate) of the bed. There were bits left over from assembly that aren't mentioned in the instructions.
If anyone has a means to seal up the front of the bed I'm all ears.
You'll notice I also took off the 4X4 decals... I've always had bad experiences with badging, and I was very surprised with how easy it was to remove those.
Got a couple pics snapped when I got home tonight. The BedRug hides the bottom piece (tailgate gap), so I got as good a shot as I could by lifting the rug up a bit. The seal was put on in 3 pcs.Do you have pics after install ?
Hey Bryan - what about the other side?.....you know, the one with the DAMPER!Got a couple pics snapped when I got home tonight. The BedRug hides the bottom piece (tailgate gap), so I got as good a shot as I could by lifting the rug up a bit. The seal was put on in 3 pcs.
Hard to tell from that angle, is it flushed from a profile/rear view? Also how easy is it to remove? I had in mind being able to remove? And lastly, where do the magnetic clips that you're supposed to attach to top of your roof go?Lomax Agricover. Seals up tight - I haven't had any water seep into the bed (I've got a tailgate seal). It's a tri-fold and removable. Not all that cheap though
The Gator tri-fold cover comes with an accessory rail plate that bolts to the top portion of the front wall of the bed. Once installed it can be lined up with the side rails to provide a flat surface for the front seal. It's made from relatively thin gauge steel or possibly aluminum and is the same as in this install vid from S3 Motorsports.Same one here....love the cover but I also have some water leakage in the rear.

It's possible you may be find this available somewhere or make something like this out of wood that's painted/sealed.
Actually, that's the reason I took the pic on the passenger side - the damper obscured the view of the sealHey Bryan - what about the other side?.....you know, the one with the DAMPER!
If you're looking at it straight on, you would see maybe a 1/4" (or a little less) above the bed rail, so not perfectly flush, but damn close to it. The cover is aluminum, so it's not terrible to take off the truck, not exactly feather-light, but doesn't take two people to move it when it comes down to it.Hard to tell from that angle, is it flushed from a profile/rear view?

Awww thats why i was asking, i guess the clips on the top of the roof are for different trucks based off what i saw online. So this one doesn't fold all the way up and lean against the back window or has some type of rod that holds it in place. It only folds up partially and if you want the full bed you'd have to remove it?If you're looking at it straight on, you would see maybe a 1/4" (or a little less) above the bed rail, so not perfectly flush, but damn close to it.

Not sure what you refer to as "magnetic clips" - there aren't any and it doesn't attach to the roof. It doesn't fold up against the back window (which was a HUGE selling point for me). When it's folded, it still covers the front 18" or so of the bed. There are two elastic straps with clips that slip into notches in the cover to keep it from unfolding. I can try to get a shot of them this weekend if you'd like. Or you can go to the link below and scroll down a little - there are several pictures that show what I'm probably describing very poorly...

Correct. For full usage, it has to come off. Like I mentioned, my biggest concern was making sure the cover didn't block the back window when it's folded up.Awww thats why i was asking, i guess the clips on the top of the roof are for different trucks based off what i saw online.
