    So... I purchased and installed a Bakflip MX4 for my 2022 Tacoma. Everything went well except for two sets of bumpers that have come un-stuck.

    One pair of small rubber bumpers on top, next to the elevator bolts. And the other pair of long foam bumpers on the interior, between foldable sections. A few pics...
    I have contacted Bakflip, but have not heard back for a few weeks.

    Any suggestions on adhesives? Something by 3M maybe?

    Honestly super glue would probably work. Or commercial grade silicon that is meant to be used outdoors.

    i just purchased a Bakflip last week and installed it. 2 days ago the small rubber bumpers came off. I’m assumed because of the heat but now I read this and am thinking it could be a manufacturer defect. Let me know if they contact you!
