Bakflip MX4 bed cover warning for 2024 Ranger XLT

[Kenat]

Just a warning for anyone putting a Bakflip mx4. On their 2024 Ranger. The instructions don't tell you that you have to take the end plug off the rails and force the 3 side clamps into the rail then slide them down to the right position to fasten them down. I wasted all day Saturday just clamping them againt the rail which causes them to slant down and the top won't latch. Once I figured. It out next day everything worked perfectly and looks great

The same exact issue with the Undercover Ultra Flex wasted about 3 hrs. till I figured it out.
One Rail I had to take a soft head hammer and tap the clamps into the rail as they would not slide.

I have the BAK Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover. My dealership installed it for me. It has leaked unacceptable amounts of water since installation and now part of the latch is broken. I have been very disappointed with this product, especially considering what I paid for it. Yesterday I left a bad review on their website and it's not posted.

If there is a warrantee call and see what can be done.
Just don't except the issues.

Ha I did the same thing. I pre put all the clamps on the bed and tried to slide the rail down ontop of them and just couldn’t get it to go far enough. I eventually figured out they had to slide from the side lol.

I have the X4sT with the accessory tracks and so far am happy with it. I had to loosen everything and adjust fitment/alignment for a small gap at the driver's side seal at the tailgate, but now don't have any significant noticeable leaks., other than a little where water can get past the little gaps at the tailgate clamp locations. Regular rain doesn't get in, but a little dripping at the tailgate clamp locations when rain is wind-driven. Rain doesn't get into the bed, but simply drips down the tailgate and out the bottom.
There were two little square pieces of foam with the packing, with 3M adhesive. Maybe those were meant to fill-in the clamp locations, but then the clamps on the tailgate would be unusable.
We'll see how the latch holds-up.

I wonder if your dealer installed the rubber gasket wrong. Mine doesn’t leak at all so I find that interesting.

You can buy automotive rubber seal that has 3M tape on one side for like $8 and seal the tailgate pretty easily if it bothers you.

That's what I initially thought. I took it back for them to 'fix'. It helped a bit but not enough.
