Bakflip HD - not so HD
EDIT 4/2/2010 - Bak is sending me a replacement cover
EDIT 4/14/2010 - recieved a replacement cover - Thank you Julian
**************************************************
For anyone considering paying the extra money for the Bakflip HD, I'm not sure that I would make that mistake again. The standard BakFlip has plastic panels, while the HD has thin aluminum panels.
Had a minor hailstorm - pea to less than marble sized hail, no damage to the truck or any other car in the parking lot. The BakFlip looks like someone took a hammer to it. I'm hoping that some dry ice will pull the dents out, but I'm less than impressed with how "Heavy Duty" it is. I suspect that the plastic panels would not have been effected by the tiny hailstones.

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of: "Hey guys, I purchased the HD version for my truck. We had a hailstorm recently and it is now dented in several areas. I was curious, is this expected and or common? Does this happen with the plastic version? Is there a warranty? Can I exchange it for the plastic one?
What harm can come from at least letting them know?
But yes, if you called them and just said "Hey, aluminum dents." That would be funny.
Thanks for posting the info btw. I'm hoping to get one for my truck very soon and will likely get the plastic version now.
