    Hi guys, fairly new here. I am looking for a flush mount, tri fold, hard top tonneau cover for a third gen. I really like the bakflip covers, but I don’t like when they are folded up against the rear window and I can’t see out. Any recommendations for tri folds that sit flush, but don’t sit against the window? Thanks in advance!

    If you don't flip it up, it lays pretty flat but still covers the back 1/3 of the bed.

    Thanks I like the low profile much better compared to the OEM one I had. The seals seem better but have to see if it keeps water out after I wash it or when it rains. Also handles on the right and left sides to open it. OEM just has handles on the left. Install was fairly easy. A good YouTube video helped.

    The Bak covers are incredibly popular, and other members have stated, you can fold it on top of itself and it will lay flat with two straps to keep it in that position. Another model to maybe consider is the Access LoMax. It doesn't fold up against the cab, so it will only give you 2/3 bed access, and its not completely flush, but its so thin so it looks sharp on the bed. Picture is shown on a Chevy, but gives you an idea of the profile and its styling is a bit different compared to the Bak and Undercover folding designs.

    This gives you an idea on how it will fold on top of itself, not blocking the rear window and still provides 2/3 bed access. There are also two straps to keep it in that folded position.
