BAK Industries 35206 BakFlip HD All Metal Tonneau Bed Cover
The BAKFlip HD (Heavy Duty) Tonneau Cover / Truck Bed Cover has all of the great good looks and functionality of the BAKFlip G2 (Generation 2) Model but in a Heavy Duty / OEM (Factory) Quality version as this cover's outer surfaces are ALL METAL like the BAKFlip G2! However, the core of the BAKFlip HD Tonneau Cover / Truck Bed Cover is 25% more dense, 1/8" thicker and is much more rigid then the G2. The BAKFlip HD opens, closes, and operates identically to the BAKFlip G2 Model, however the BAKFlip HD has the following refinements: Panels on HD are 5/8" thick vs 1/2" thick for the G2 .The BAKFlip HD's textured flat aluminum surfaces on all panels have two coats of epoxy primer that is baked on at 460 degrees. This entire expoxy primer coating process is completed twice (first coat applied, baked on and cooled, and then the process is repeated). Once the two coats of primer has set, an extraordinarily tough and scratch-resistant polyester based coating is used as the final finishing coat (which gives the look of a tough, baked on enamel, but is much higher quality). This coating process ensures that the covers is both scratch and UV resistant. The 2 stage enamel process makes for a final finishing coat that is more of a factory look. The BAKFlip HD handles approximately 25% more distributed weight when compared to the G2. The HD is much more rigid then the G2. Quality and Rigidity Standards Endorsed by OEM - The BAKFlip HD is an Original Equipment Part for one of the Big 3 Automakers 2 year warranty for the BAKFlip HD vs. 1 year warranty for the BAKFlip G2. Powder coated pivoting arms - (G2 has zinc plated) Integrated tie down points underneath and on top of the cover (“D” Rings placed at strategic points under the cover). Extra Set of Clamps (8 clamps) provided for added rigidity (4 on each side). The G2 uses a total of 6 clamps. The BAKFlip HD has a higher quality finished look when compared to the BAKFlip G2 because of the 2 stage epoxy primer on the HD. ...Read more
