100% Bed Access

For full bed access, unlock the cover and fold all panels completely up against the cab. Prop the cover in place by tightening the two rods into the underside of the panel. This allows you to drive with the cover partially or fully opened without obstructing the 3rd brake light.

The MX4 is designed to work seamlessly with your truck's tailgate. It features a dual-action tailgate seal, allowing tailgate operation whether the cover is open or closed. When the tailgate is closed and locked, the cover is fully secured.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the matte-finished aluminum panels with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect the full perimeter seals and dual drain tubes for any debris or damage. Clear any obstructions to ensure proper water diversion away from the truck bed.
• Hardware Check: Ensure all clamps, bolts, and latching mechanisms are secure. Tighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Water Intrusion

The MX4 is designed with dual drain tubes and full perimeter seals to protect against water intrusion. If you experience water in the truck bed:

• Check that the drain tubes are clear of debris and properly routed.
• Inspect the perimeter seals for any gaps or damage. Ensure the cover is properly seated on the rails.
• Verify that the tailgate is fully closed and locked, as this contributes to the cover's security and seal.

Latching Issues

If the cover is not latching properly:

• Ensure the panels are aligned correctly with the side rails.
• Check the automatic latching mechanism for any obstructions.
• Verify that the side rails are securely clamped to the truck bed.
