BAK BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | 226203RB | Fits 2012-2018, 2019 - 2021 Classic Dodge Ram 1500, 2012-21 2500/3500 w/RamBox 6' 4" Bed (76.3")

Overall the cover fits well and operates as it should. It was packaged well and shipped really fast, ordered on a Friday, arrived on Saturday.Also, these covers aren’t 100% water tight no cover is but where water drips in isn’t an issue. Rear corners at tailgate for reference.The only negative is there was/is a scratch on the aluminum trim that was “touched up” with a black paint pen before packaged for shipping. Looks like crap but it’s in the first panel nearest the rear window so it’s not really noticeable, only to me because I saw it while installing.

This is the 3rd BakFlip I've purchased for one of my trucks, my F-150 was the first to get outfitted with a BakFlip and when the time came to outfit my Ram 2500 it was a no brainer. This past week I traded the F150 for a new 2020 RAM 1500 and again the 1st item purchased was a BakFlip!The install is quite easy, it takes about 30 minutes doing it solo, having someone else onhand only makes mounting the bed rails easier but doesn't make anything faster.Minimal tools required, 1 socket wrench to tighten all 6 bolts and screwdriver for the latches, that's really all you need other than a steady hand to secure the rails to the bed making sure they are totally flat and forward, again this is where another set of hands can help.If you don't read instructions, make sure you attach the strap snaps to the tonneau before you mount the tonneau to your truck bed, it's hard to put the thing together once mounted, also it's best to run the drain lines into the bed before you mount the tonneau and just after you attach the rails, just makes it easier.The tonneau can be installed by 1 person when the time comes, the hardest part is just getting it from the ground and onto the rails, don't open it beyond where it shipped and you'll be able to push it into position. The bolts that secure the tonneau to the rails are best installed top down so you can wrangle the cover front to back and left to right a little to get it into position.When the time comes to secure the bolts to the rail, 2 approaches work, one is to have someone outside pushing down a little while you lay in the truck bed looking up to set the washer and lock washer onto the bolt or you can do it solo, again not hard just easier to have someone there. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN!!! If you overtighten you can easily make the fiberglass cave in and you'll leave a dent that you will regret. Also, spend some time in the bed adjusting the front back so that the cover lines up flush with the truck bed on the INSIDE and clean the surface before you install the 3M foam so that it stays in place. I opted to get a better foam tape from Amazon when I did my 2nd truck and 3rd truck because I knew that a rubber gasket offered a better seal but that's not necessary for most.Finally, once you close the entire tonneau, open it pulling the cord on one side, it should release both sides, if not you may need to adjust the latches (simple screw and alignment) to they are not so far under the rail that you can't open them from only 1 side. Again this is from experience and on my 1500 I had to do this because I found that I could not open the cover that way. A simple 1-minute adjustment and I still have a solid latch but I can open it with 1 hand.These are great covers, we were in a hail storm in South Dakota last year and my 2500 was exposed, oddly enough the only damage was on the tonneau, the truck took 3 small hits which to me are beauty marks, the tonneau got dimpled quite a bit but didn't' need replacing. This was not monster-sized hail, only pellets but none the less, the BakFlip protected all our camping gear.One question I've been asked a number of times does it leak, the simple answer is a little, it's not a 100% perfect seal, I can take it to the car wash and there will be a little water inside but not a puddle. It does a surprisingly great job of keeping water out so if you're ok with a little and I stress a very small amount, you'll be fine with this cover.

Overall, a nice product and I would buy again. As for the question / rating about water resistance - I can't speak to that as of yet, since it is a new install and hasn't been water tested. As for the rest - the installation is fairly simple and the cover is strong and robust. Some things to watch:* Make sure to use the shims if the rails sit at a slight angle, due to some curvature of the bed rails - if they sit at a slight angle, you may have issues with the seal properly contacting the tailgate. There is a supplemental sheet that includes shims and tells you how to use them. Your truck may or may not need them.* They say to install the bulkhead seal as one of the first steps. The install instructions don't clearly specify if the seal should be at the front, rear, or centered on the bulkhead (although the video does say to place it on the edge closes to the rear). I would wait and do this at a later step - for my truck, the bulkhead seal needed to be just a little bit away from the rear edge - meaning I had to remove it and reinstall it (this impacts the adhesive quality!). Its best to fit the cover first, then determine the exact location of the seal. Once the cover is properly fitted and in place, it will be very obvious where the seal needs to be - then you can easily lift off the cover (before securing it) and add the seal. Not having the seal does impact the general install and fitment of the cover - you just need to add the seal before bolting the cover down at the front.* Keep in mind - you don't need the bulkhead seal if you have a drop in bed liner that covers the bulkhead. If the bulkhead surface is painted metal - you need the seal.* While installing the rails, start at the middle (place the first clamp in the middle). I used a vice-grips to initially hold the rail in place - I didn't have a helper and this made it easy for me to keep the rail in place before installing the first clamp.* On the rear panel, I had an issue that required me to remove the latches on both sides of the cover / rear panel, reposition, and reinstall with the sheet metal screws (I used my screw gun for this - but be careful not to strip and over-tighten). The latches were installed with some adjustment capability, but not enough. The latches were sticking out too far and hitting the rails! At first I thought that my rails weren't all the way in - I confirmed this wasn't the issue. A look at the latches on the rear panel compared to the latches on the center latching panel clearly depicted my issue - the latches on the center panel (exact same type of latches) were further in, allowing clearance from the rail. The latches on the rear panel were clearly misadjusted and sticking out too far towards the rails. Again, I didn't have enough adjustment on the latches to compensate. This was fairly simple to do - took an extra 5 or 10 minutes (after figuring out the issue). But this shouldn't have been necessary. If yours sticks - check the rails before moving any latches. You want to make sure the rails are properly seated - otherwise they can interfere with the panels.Overall, nice product and nice look! Hopefully it does a good job repelling water - I have heard feedback both ways. I didn't want to rate that particular function as I haven't tested it. Overall, it took less than an hour to install - even with the minor latch issue. I installed myself without a helper.

A quality product that was easy to install. I watched a short YouTube video on installation which gave some helpful hints on single person installation. Total install time was less then an hour without a second set of hands.I noticed some tiny drips of water after going through the car wash and again I noticed a tiny amount of water after a weekend of storming. Over all, this cover is very water resistant and I'm very pleased with it.10/10 would recommend to any one looking for a hardened flip up cover.

after much research i chose this one as it was the highest recommended .. and what a great product, easy to follow instruction and simple to install .... Fits 2021 Ram 1500 Classic 6' 4" bed no problem

Very happy with the purchase. Easy to install, looks very durable and adds clean look to the black Ram 1500.One comment though: the foam seal that comes with the cover is very thin and has poor glue. To achieve better results I recommend buying rubber M-D Building Products seals from Amazon - there is plenty for low price.

TONNEAU STILL GOING STRONG WITH DAILY USAGE 1 YEAR LATER WITH NO ISSUES. GOOD DEAL FOR SURE. THANK YOU.

This is the best hard cover had a few over the years always easy to install and long lasting.

Product is easy to install and fit correctly. Locks for each panel are less than ideal-difficult to lock without pulling on the lock cable. It would be nice if you could close each panel and it would lock automatically. You have to pull on the lock mechanism (a cable) and it is hard to get a hold of. It should have some better type of mechanism-I installed some zip ties to make it easier. Other negative is you need to open last panel in order to close tailgate. Product fit and finish is good.
