Operating Instructions

The BAKFlip G2 is designed for ease of use, offering flexible access to your truck bed.

• Full Bed Access: To access the entire truck bed, simply unlatch the panels and fold the cover completely towards the cab. The integrated buckle system allows you to drive with the cover folded up, without obstructing the third brake light.
• Partial Bed Access: The cover can be folded incrementally, allowing access to specific portions of your truck bed as needed. Each panel latches securely into place.
• Closing the Cover: To close, simply unfold the panels back over the truck bed. The patented, automatic latching panel system secures the cover as each panel is laid down. Ensure your tailgate is locked for maximum security.
