Bakflip HD - not so HD
#151
I've given the same advice to people on other threads - if there is a chance of hail where you live then the HD won't cut it.
I'm looking forward to seeing how much stronger the F1 version is. I'm guessing it should be here in a week or 2.

I'm not sure why if you cover hard plastic in soft aluminum you can call it heavy duty. I would think it would be the other way around. I had a choice when I bought mine and there were cases of people getting the HD as a free upgrade without asking for it, I told them I wanted the G2 or didnt want one at all.

I received the replacement cover today, a BakFlip F1. They have made some improvements and changes since my HD was made.
1st off - the packaging is 1000% better than the way my HD was packaged
2nd - the bed rails were about 1cm longer and got much closer to the tailgate. The front edges were cut square instead of being notched to protrude further up the top of the bed side.
3rd - a seal was included for the front of the bed which makes the Bakflip seal against the top of the front of the bed much better
4th - the BakFlip logo is a sticker and not painted on, which is nice
The F1 seems like more durable material. Visually it woudl be hard to tell the difference between the HD and F1 unless you give the cover a thump.
Thank you Julian for resolving my issues

Well,,,, Add me to the list of hail damaged bakflip. I live in Southern Maryland and got in a storm last night and once everything cleared, the truck itself was fine but the cover is all dented up. Who or what can I do? I just got the basic Bakflip not the HD for xmas of last year so only have had it for 5 months. Thanks....
