    I've got the Bakflip MX4 and I love it. Matches the truck perfectly and is well built. That said, it does leak a little and I expected that. So long as you expect the same, you won't be disappointed.

    I have the mx4. Didnt even bother installing the drain lines. I don't care if water gets in. I figured no cover has a lot more water than having a cover. I do really like the design and it's made my truck bed much more useful to me.

    I have the Bak Flip F1 and I like it a lot. Very secure and strong. It is their most expensive tonneau cover though.

    Just curious why you chose the MX4 over any of the others?

    I bought the fibremax as a stepup from the g2 and stepdown from the hd. It uses alittle of everything between the two models.i love it. Like stated it leaks alittle in the corners/tailgate. Which can easily be fixed but its not worth the time. If it rains all night my corners are just moist. Fine by me.

    I have the Bakflip HD, which was replaced by the MX4. I love the cover. The MX4 is a little better because you don't have to close the tailgate before the cover.

    I am seriously considering one as well. I wanted the OEM cover but have been unsuccessful in finding one and this looks like the next best thing

    I ended up buying the Undercover Ultra Flex after a lot of research. The Ultra Flex was more durable, had a matte finish and overall just looked to be superior. That's just my opinion but will see when I install it today.

    Love the g2. Doesn't keep out all the water. But no title waves make it through. Quality product. Very happy with this purchase.

    +1 for the MX4. I love mine. If you spend a little time on the install you can avoid most leaks. Mine has just a few spots where tiny amounts of water get in. I sealed the rails with permatex silicone. One thing though if you park at an angle with the rear lower, the water just drains inside instead of up front where the drains are.

    Interested in seeing how you like it, since there haven't been many reviews yet. I'm between this one and the MX4

    I just looked at it, looks exactly the same as an MX4 pretty much. Prop rods, clip straps, cable release system, all the same nearly.

    I've got a G2. Haven't installed the drain lines. Keeps most of the water out as is. I haven't regretted this purchase one bit. Lots of interstate travel with bags in the bed locked away and out of sight. Love the way it folds up. Easy to use.

    Installed the Ultra Flex today and was super easy and looks great.

    Things I like about the Ultra Flex:

    -Matte Finish and looks more quality than the regular Flex when I compared in the store
    -open and close the tailgate without having to lift the last section of cover
    -5 year warranty
    -comes with carpet under side of panels
    -30% more durable than others
    -comes with luggage bag and LED lights
    -solid construction and better seals

    I was able to get it for $865 shipped
