BAK BAKFlip FiberMax Tonneau Cover Customer Reviews
90 Customer Reviews
Don't let Hollywood fool you—the chances of a zombie apocalypse breaking out anytime soon are pretty slim, so investing in a backyard bunker is probably a boondoggle. However, there's never been a better time to turn your pickup's payload into a rolling fallout shelter thanks to the new BAKFlip FiberMax Tonneau Cover.
No other tonneau cover that BAK makes is as strong or as sturdy as the BAKFlip FiberMax. It's custom built from Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) on the outside with a solid aluminum core, giving it the perfect blend of rigidity and light weight. So, it keeps crooks out while creating a stable deck for stacking extra freight. And, BAK uses a revolutionary hinge system that stops the nastiest weather from leaking in.
What's more, the BAKFlip FiberMax Tonneau Cover flips all the way up to the front of your bed, opening up your entire payload when you're hauling oversized gear. Once folded up, it shields your rear window from shifting cargo, and it's padded to protect your paint from scratches. Plus, installation's a cinch, thanks to the integrated rail guides and no-drill mounting (most vehicles). And, BAK backs your FiberMax Tonneau with a 2-year warranty.
Our 40+ BAK BAKFlip FiberMax Tonneau Cover customer reviews have an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 stars. To see specific reviews about your vehicle, please select your year, make and model from the drop down above.

Overall pretty pleased with this product to date. I've had it on for about 2 weeks, and it's seemed to work well, though I'm skeptical about water tightness issues. Install went without issue, looks great. I am pleased so far. Time will tell.

Took more time to unpack than install! Looks GREAT! My truch has the OEM bed rail protectors. This causes the track to mount on a slight angle, and while it still seals out water pretty good (been through a few rain storms with little or no water in the bed)It could be a little longer on top.

It is definitely quality made because I have been just tossing tools on and off of it. There isn't one scratch on it yet. Nice not to have no flapping noise from my old soft cover. There drainage system does more than you think. I was doing a self-serve car and I was spraying it down and then I decided to take a peek. I checked it out it was draining a good amount of water. Now you either have to drill holes, put it under Berliner, or find some near where the drain hoses are

Great addition to the truck. Easy and fast to install. Minor drawback is that it is not waterproof. Minor leaks which I am having to hunt down and plug up with spray foam. Otherwise great security for luggage that I no longer have to haul in back seat. I really like my cover.

Easy installation. Instructions included in box are as bad as everybody says. The instructions are not detailed enough & the pictures are tiny. However, BAK's website has an installation video which was really helpful. The cover was very well packed & the materials are of high quality. I just installed the cover & am still getting it lined up perfectly...but that's my fault for starting right before it got dark.

This was my first purchase from Auto Anything. I could not be more pleased with the Aries Big Step Nerf Bars. They look great on my Ram 1500. When I am getting gas I have had several people come up and say where did you get them? how can I get them? That in itself tells me I did the right thing. They make my Ram truck a MAN TRUCK!!!

I am very pleased with the FiberMax. We had constant rain for about 3 days and the only place I had water in the bed was at the corners of the tailgate. The installation was a breeze and only took about 45 minutes. I would recommend the cover to anyone that wants a low profile look.

Another question. I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier SV King Cab with the standard 6' bed. I have been comparing the HD and FiberMax and have received different recommendations as to which is best for my application. One primary concern is sealing out water and snow. I was also looking at a hard cover for snow loads. Compatability and looks are important. Also, the top surface toughness and holding up. I have looked at the write=ups and comparison charts and it is not clear. What are your thoughts? Thanks, John
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 11, 2013 9:15 AM
Hi John, The main difference is the weight of those covers. The FiberMax is a bit lighter. Both covers will work great though.

I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier SV King Cab with the standard 6' box. It has the Utili-track Channels System that included channels near the top of the box and the back of the cab. Tie down cleats are inserted into these channels and then turned 180 degrees, which would then reduce clearance to the cover. I was told by one of your reps that the BAK Flip Fiber Max & BAK Flip HD would work ok with the rails. I also talked with a tech. rep from BAK about this. He said they would work, but the clamps would have to be taken apart and inserted above these rails where there is a gap near the tail gate. He also said the rails would work ok after installation. I don't think the use of the cleats was verified though I wanted to double check that all things would be ok for my Frontier based on your March 19th answer about a Ford F-150. With the cover riding inside of the bed, I also want to know if there is enough clearance with the cover installed for the Sliding Bed Extender, and will I be able to slide it ok? Thanks, John
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 11, 2013 9:32 AM
Hi John, Whether a cargo management system will or will not interfere with a tonneau cover depends on the make of the truck. They place them at different levels in the bed and in the case of the March posting, will cause a fitment issue if the wrong tonneau is ordered. If we don't list "with or without" cargo management system or simply state "Fits all _____ models", the tonneau cover will fit any bed style offered in that year according to the information that we get directly from BAK. Our submodel listings are extremely accurate as they're provided by the actual manufacturer of the product themselves. The cleats should work fine as they won't extend high enough to contact the cover. Your sliding extender will probably be ok too, if the bracket is set lower in the bed than the cargo management system.

in your options for covers it asks you whether or not you have a cargo management system . what exactly is this ?
Answered by Nathan S. — Mar 19, 2013 8:19 AM
Hi, A cargo management system is a series of rails inside of the bed (from the factory) with movable tie downs which would interfere with the tonneau clamps.

Thank you for your question, Part number 126207 is actually a brand new product from Bak. The FiberMax is an upgraded form of the BakFlip G2 with a newly designed FRP – Fiberglass reinforced top surface for impact resistance and flush fitting hinges. The G2 is one of the most popular tonneau covers that we offer and now the FiberMax takes the same quality and durability to the next level.

I'm guessing around 50lb. Not that heavy but if you plan to remove it constantly then you might consider a lighter design
