2022 Tonneau covers

I have the same issue. Just installed my Bak revolver and it is too short. Won’t seal at the tailgate and cover the bulkhead at the same time. Opening a warranty claim. Not acceptable for a $1,200 bed cover.

Coincidentally, my corner cap receiver is broken too. Glad I am not alone!!

 

If you want to shoot me a PM with your email or order numbers I will be happy to see if I can assist with these!

 

My warranty claim with Bak is now considered closed. Based on my measurements my cover is considered in spec. They are sending me new corner caps which apparently also include the connector piece that is broken and a new bulkhead seal. The recommend resolution was to install a new bulkhead seal as far back as it can possibly go(which it already pretty much is) and install the cover so it is barely resting on the bulkhead so I guess I'll see how that goes.

 

A week into having the RetraxPro XR I gotta say… it is awesome. I did have to apply some candle wax to the rails but it has been smooth as butter since and it has kept my bed 98% dry (little water near tailgate) and these were with torrential rain storms 3” plus

 

Sorry to hear that. I hope the BakFlip MX4 does not have the same issue.

 

Did you order from Real Truck? If so, contact them (Santana) and let them (her) know it's not satisfactory. They were great helping me with a couple tonneau exchanges. I ended up with Retrax on my 4th try; I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Yeah i'm in contact with her. Will reach out again after I get replacement parts and try remounting with the bulkhead gasket on the absolute edge of the bulkhead if it isn't up to snuff. Glad to hear you were able to exchange. I'm surprised others haven't had the same issue, maybe no one actually checks the rear seal contact.

 

I went with a Diamondback SE and mounted a Thule Tracrac to it. We are carrying Kayaks and bikes.

 

Would mind sharing a photo of your set up. I just had a look at the Diamondback and it looks good. I also want to carry bikes and kayaks.

 

Here is a photo from the other day. I am still working on it. I have to lower the Thule cutting the uprights 6” down. Then I can mount the crossbars for the bike carriers. Kayaks will be going on in a few days for a little camping trip this week.

 

I have decided on the Rough Country hard cover.
At $699 it does the same job as the similar ones that are almost double the price. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and been through rain and car washes, and it stayed almost completely dry.

 

Is this cover water tite?

 

To confirm, are you saying you installed your Retrax with a slight angle? Was that a improvisation or per instructions?

 

The instructions say to cant the two side rails. Off the top of my head, I don't recall exact directions but it's like 1 degree or so. I will say I wasn't too happy at first, but after the cover settled about a week or so, I just get a few drops at the tailgate, no other leaks at all.

 

Just ordered the renegade cover. Now for the long wait

 

Just ordered a Retrax XR.

 

You won't regret it!

 

Even though he is a Marine… I’ll agree with him on this.

 

Oh boy, here we go...

I received a new corner cap and bulkhead seal from Bak. After removing the old bulkhead seal and installing a new one ensuring it's all the way towards the rear on the bulkhead I still end up with the same thing. With the front of the cover barely covering the front bulkhead seal the rear tailgate seal doesn't make contact still. I love everything else about this cover but they are definitely not built specifically for the bed dimensions of the Tundra. I'd love to see some actual pics from Bak about what it looks like when they install it. I'm assuming other people who installed this cover never checked or cared about the rear seal so if someone has pics of one installed and properly sealed i'd love to see it. In the end I moved the cover forward more so the bulkhead is properly covered and will live with the fact that the rear tailgate seal is 1/2" away from making contact.

 

Don't settle, send that thing back to Real Truck!

 

Problem is I really like everything else about the cover and it's the only hard rollup that uses locking side rails instead of velcro.

 

Looks like you need a Retrax! That's where I landed as tonneau #4. I'm very impressed with it so far. It's not perfect, but it may become my "go to" cover when I get new trucks. I love being able to lock the cover at any open position, use that feature quite a bit.

 

I just got my Retrax XR delivered yesterday Although I don't remember where but I thought I read that there's an updated version that comes with drain hoses small enough to avoid drilling into your bed... Anyone out here read something similar?

 

This setup is carrying our 2 x 12 foot kayaks quite well but it is about 10” too tall. I will cut down the uprights soon. This is a tracrac on a diamondback SE

 

Day one mod!

 

Love the Diamondback covers. Planned on getting one but it’s not convenient when having a RTT on it.

 

I recall being told by ********* that the backflip mx4 comes with the smaller tubes. I don't recall hearing or seeing the se for the Retrax XR.

What did your setup come with?

 

My XR came with tubes that were ½ inch or a little bigger.

 

Good to know.
