"Not happy with the instructions. You might want to read it all before starting because it's not in sequence. Intructions you get and what you view on the web are not all the same. There were some weather strippings and felt that were not on the instructions on where to install it, it's left to your imagination. The top cap could be better installed other than two self tapping screws on each side exposed. When it rains water seeps in in various gaps. On my Tacoma I had to cut both ends of the tailgate cap provided for me to close the tailgate. I also did not get the free door sill. With the cost of this item it should be better."

"It took me approximately 2hrs to put on the ROLLBAK. The instructions were clear. However, I also downloaded the video for installation on ROLLBAK's website. The finished product is awsome! I am proud I did it myself and further it was easy! The durable aluminum panels are very strong! It definitely keeps water out! I love the fact that I can still use my stake hole pockets for a trackrac!!!"

Nice Product, Horrible Installation Instructions

Posted on 10/07/2006 by Eugene L. (White Plains,NY)

"Looks great on my Toyota Tacoma. Canister lid rattles somewhat, but I should have a solution to that soon. I didn't believe the other reviewers when they said the the instructions were bad. Well, they are THAT bad. Instructions are vague, not in sequence and contradict the website's installation video. This is not an inexpensive product - the manufacturer should take the time to rewrite the installation pamplet (this time with a complete parts list so you know what's what and no grainy, indistinguishable xeroxed photos). All in all, it took about 3 hours to install."

BAK RollBak Tonneau Cover

Posted on 09/24/2006 by Victor C. - 2006 Ford F150 (Round Rock,TX)

"Good: Very nice looking. Solid construction. Operates well with adjustments. Bad: Poor instructions. The video and written deviations cause some installation confusion. Not enough shim size variety. Top cap does not form a seal with the cab rail on the bed. Weather Proof rating 7: Good except for 2" on the left and right sides. The felt weather stripping does a good job for the center portion of the bed. Would be an 8 if the top cap fit the cab rail. A 9 if the weather stripping went all the way to the edge and a 10 if the weather stripping was easily serviced or replaced. Once this wears out, I do not know if you will have any weather proof capabilities. Details: Watched the BAK web site installation video. Read the instructions and they were different. The user must understand the concept because the installation document has the right procedure for the canister mounting brackets. The canister brackets are longer on one edge and now push up against the cab rail instead of 2" back as stated in the video. Neither instructions show how to or that you need to attach the felt weather stripping onto the end piece before installing to the main bed cover. This helps with weather proofing. The top cap once installed is 1/2" from mating up with the top edge of the cab rail. The instructions still say to use the WD-40 but the video uses grease that is not provided. The shims that they provided were way too thick and the rail alignment for my '06 supercrew was not proper so I had to make my own via weather stripping since I need 1/16" instead of the 3/16" provided. The vendor should provide some different sized shims to meet the owners vehicle. There are only 6 shims so that would be 18 pieces (6 x 1/16, 6 x 1/8 and 6 x 3/16") Cosmetic Suggestions: The vendor should find a way to make the top cap appear flush with the top of the cover. Not a requirement but it would look that much better."

Installed on Nissan Titan

"Just installed on my 2004 Nissan Titan king cab. Instructions are terrible. They leave out alot of small details that are important to the install. The brackets that support the cannister, should be made avaliable with longer & additional screws. I used an extra screw on each side, because the cannister is heavy, and the mounting point for the brackets on the Titan are not ideal. Overall, a good product...now, I just need to figure out a way to use the bed extender. Using the Rollbak cover requires flipping the utility track rails upside down and the bed extender won't fit anymore!"

"Istalation instructions could have been a little more complete. It took me and a very mechanically talented friend about two hours to intall the tonneau cover and adjust it. I now have the best looking pickup truck in Centreville, MD. My wife is an artist who has used her station wagon to transport her wares to shows. She now plans to use our pickup with the new tonneau cover to go to shows.Thanks for making the Tonneau cover available. Bill "

"The directions included were awful! Luckily with a little common sense it can be figured out. The installation by myself took three hours. Mostly because of poor directions. I could probably do it now in an hour. The cover isn't as good as a roll n' lock, but this one keeps the stake holes open which I needed for my bed rails. The overall look is awesome, but a little hard to operate."

"I had to use the supplied shims to make it sit level, but other than that it fit fairly well. It requires more than the recomended WD-40 to lubricated the rails to make it slide well which I expected, but I definately like the function, especialy for the price."

06 Frontier crew cab

"I purchased this cover because Rolbak claims it will work with the utilitrac rails and that it will not cover stake pockets thus allowing me to install a ladder rack. I even saw pictures on the Rollbak website of a truck with this cover and the Trac Rac together. However, the lid that goes over the canister was made to fit all the way to the outside edges of the bed. Needless to say I had to cut the lid to fit, but at least the rails of the Trac Rac conceal the cut. Also the rails fit too snug, which prevents the tailgate from closing easily. Overall the quality of the cover is good and I am happy with it. Just some niggles with the fit of the cover."

Looks great - a pain to install

"The shipment came in two huge boxes. In order to put it together, we had to go online to the Bak website to find more detailed instructions. After that, it wasn't majorly difficult. I didn't realize that the tubes for drainage required me to drill through the bedliner. I am not too keen on that, so I'm going to get longer hoses and rig it another way. The holes didn't totally match up, but we drilled new ones, and I had to get longer screws. Other than that, it was a great value, and it looks awesome on my truck. If you're not mechanically inclined, this process may be a pain for you. But the end result is worth it."

Instruction manual needs help

Posted on 04/10/2006 by Alan T. - 2005 Ford F-250 (Trona,CA)

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"Overall, I have been happy with the product but was not happy with the installation instruction booklet and on-line video. There are many discrepancies between the written instructions and the video. Deciding which one is accurate was a bit of a challenge. For example, the video says to “grease the inner rail with the lubricant provided.” The written instruction says, “grease the top edge of the inner tracks. WD40 is recommended.” Setting the spring on the canister was another problem. The video says to unwind the canister 4 times for short bed and 5 times for long beds. The written instruction says to unwind 6 times for short bed trucks and 8 times for long beds. Attaching the lid was also different. There were also two plastic pieces. Each with double-sided tape that I still have no idea what they are for and there is no mention of them on the video or instruction booklet. I am hoping that the RollBak cover will give me years of trouble-free service. I selected the product because I wanted a tonneau cover that I could stand on in order to reach the top of the truck cab when I wash and wax it."

Cover poorly designed but works if your easily pleased!!!!

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"I was able to install and assemble the cover by myself, however I did notice some flaws in the design. I have a 2002 Dodge Ram short bed. The tracks (the part that attaches to the bed rails) are very wide and become flimsy. The cover it's self is a full 7" too narrow, this is great for a universal fit, but if you actually put 100lbs of weight on it the cover would rip the tracks off and colaps in. I also had to modify the shims so that the rails didn't have gaps for water to enter through. Over all the cover was a slight dissapointment and i wish i had seen one installed before i ordered it. Oh ya and it doesn't slide on the rails very well seems to me they should have used some sort of ball bearing or wheels, not just a piece of plastic. Oh and i threw the door sill protectors away, they were two thin pieces of plastic with double sided tape on them.......?"

great cover, BAD INSTRUCTIONS

"While I love the product, and think it is one of the better after market products to come out for a pick-up truck, there were a few inherrent problems with the directions. No clarification as to which bolts went where, and the strange part that my instructions were for a 2004 Toyota Tundra when I ordered it for a 2003 S-10 ZR2. However, no matter what I will recommend this product very highly...it's well built, well manufactured, and strong. The only downside is there's no locking mechanism with the liner, you would need to purchase a pop-lock for the tailgate."

"Need a trunk like on your truck to carry your tools or baby stroller?? This is the best investment ever done to my truck. It really is a sharp looking cover and the polish metal looks is amazing. The instructions to install it aren't that clear when the truck has a bed liner. Need to make adjustments to fit the roller, but besides that i trully recomend this product."

"All around i like my new BAK. I get complements everyday and i tell them where i got it and the cheap price i got it for compared to the compeditors. I although did not like the way the instruction were set up i was moving along fine doing it my self then you realise that the instructions are all mixed up a step that should have been at the begining was at the end i had to start all over no big deal but just time consuming. I was also sent the free tail gait cover it was about 10 inches to short which it was free but so what ever. Work on the instructions and this will be a great Tonneau for even people that have no mechanical ability."
