Question BAKFlip Tonneau Cover?

Does anyone have the 'BAKFlip' brand Tonneau Cover? From actual experiences, what are the pros and cons of having this one? How easy or hard is it to install? Is it worth the money? Does it conflict with a bed liner? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've had the F-1 cover for over a year and I'm still very happy with it. I like the flush fit and the security it offers. There is no external hardware to go bad but it does require a locking tailgate to be secure.

The installation is simple but to be truely water tight you have to make sure it is level. After my first install it did leak a little but I re-installed it being more carefull and it no longer leaks.

It is a solid cover and looks as good as it did on the first day. You won't go wrong with this cover.

I have the Bakflip HD and love it. I really like that it sits flush. I had mine installed at the place where I bought it from and have no leaks. It only took them about 30mins to install.
Great solid cover.

I'm leaning toward an F-1, and the local dealer will install, because he wants it that way - since he will be the one to warrantee the installation, I see no reason to do it myslef. No extra charge for this.

It appears that it is very easy to install.

This is the cover I want to get. I have showed it to a couple of people online and they bought it right away, and are very happy with them. Although a hail storm just went through and covered it, along with the truck, with dents. Hopefully the insurance company covers it. I love the fact that you still have the entire box without having to take the cover off, seeing that I am a huge impulse buyer and need room for the sleds/quads. I am hoping to get one this summer before the snow starts flying.
