BAKBAKFlip F1 Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | 772601 | Fits 2005 - 2015 Honda Ridgeline 5' Bed (60")

The Honda Ridgeline pickup truck is not generic: the styling is unusual, it lacks (by design) some of the convenient bolts and holes and extrusions found on more conventional pickups, and the bed is of course short. While there is no lack of tonneau cover models available, it is not the vast selection available for mainstream trucks.The BakFlip G2 was my choice because it offered full use of the limited space available in the bed, and it is custom-designed for the idiosyncrasies of the Ridgeline. It was my first purchase for my 2010 RTL, and I considered it a necessity for making the truck useful.The cover arrived in one box (models for longer beds ship the cover and its rails separately). The package included the pre-assembled cover, two rails, a small package of hardware, two plastic sealing panels, and an illustrated tri-fold installation brochure. The parts were protected by an expanding-foam insert that kept everything safe and separated.Installation requires two Torx sockets (T40 and T50), a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, a large flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool, and a utility knife. The two mid-bed upper screws are removed with the T40 bit, and the four forward upper screws that attach the upper tiedown cleats are removed with the T50 bit. You will lose use of those two tiedowns, as the upper rail attaches at those points. The BakFlip siderails are then attached using replacement bolts provided in the kit--these have Phillips heads and are longer than the original bolts.Two large vinyl drain hoses are provided. These are attached to a nipple at the forward end, and routed through the lower tiedown, then "draped over the drain holes on the floor." You use the flat-bladed screwdriver to remove a plug in the floor, then cut the hose to length so it will catch against the bolt. I'm not yet convinced that these are actually drains, and plan to ask the manufacturer about them.The two sealing panels are attached with double-sided tape above the forward ends of the rails. This appears to be one of two retrofits done by the manufacturer to seal out water. The cover is then laid on the rails and opened to check positioning. The cover presses against the forward bulkhead of the bed, and can be slid in its latching channel. Once positioned, it is attached to the rails at the forward end with four bolts and star knobs. You are on your own to figure out how to configure the two large flat washers (one metal, one rubber) and lock washer, as there is no mention of their intended use in the instructions. I stacked them all underneath, rubber-sheet-lock from top to bottom.The second retrofit is a pair of self-tapping screws that are mentioned in the parts list but not shown in the installation steps. A call to Bak's tech support revealed that these are to be installed at the aft end of the railings (in two pre-drilled holes). The CSR said that it was "to increase security," and when I asked him what that meant he thought it was to keep the railings in place. The screws do provide an end attachment point for the rails, as otherwise all the load is on the forward and mid bolts.The entire installation took less than 30 minutes.The good news is that the cover is tight and closes with both precision and a satisfying, positive latching sound. Two latching rods can hold it in the full-open position, which does indeed give you the entire bed to work with (and protects the rear window of the cab when you have a full load). The cover is water-resistant but not water-proof (and Bak does not claim that it is). We've already had two torrential rainstorms in the week since I've installed this, and each time I found some trickles of water in the truck bed afterwards. Returning to those "drains," it seems like water is channeled down to them, but it doesn't drain out and thus may be the source of the water I found in the bed. That would be Honda's problem, I believe.There is a huge reduction in wind noise, as air is no longer being dammed up in front of the tailgate. I so far have noticed a modest increase in fuel mileage (nothing like the 10 percent savings I've seen mentioned, but also nothing to sneeze at).The cover opens and closes easily, and does not require a lot of jockeying to get things right. One quirk is that the tailgate must be closed before the final panel is closed. This will take some getting used to for my spouse, who loves the "trunk" feature of the Ridgeline and will have to get in the habit of opening one panel when she opens the trunk. Doing things in the other order pinches the aft rubber gasket of the Bak into the tailgate, which could damage it.Overall this is a well-built product, and I would recommend it to other Ridgeline owners who are seeking a fuss-free experience with a bed cover. I would like to see Bak improve their instructions (which are well-printed on glossy stock) to account for changes in their products.

I researched covers for my Ridgeline extensively and settled on a roll-up BAK. Assembly was straight forward, directions/YT video provided me with what I needed to install it and that took me a few hours. Low profile, very secure, looks great and the only leaks I have right now are in the two back corners that don't impact anything I would have in the back. Plan on eliminating those when I have some free time. Well done and highly recommended. It isn't cheap, but in this case you get what you pay for.

I purchased a BakFlip MX4 for my 2021 Honda Ridgeline. The first thing you will notice upon opening the box is "Made In USA" writing so I was all excited thinking this thing was going to be top quality. However, the cheap quality of the panels themselves was my first disappointment. They are not a hard, durable material with a rich black pigment which I was expecting - they are more of a flimsy styrofoam with a porous dry crackle finish. The install was straightforward although I was constantly thinking to myself, this doesn't seem like it's watertight at all. The design for the prop sticks that hold it open when folded seem to have been designed on a Friday afternoon before a holiday. All of the fasteners and seals are standard China whitebox; several pieces were broke and just plain fell off during the install; Bak Industries is sending me the replacements. There are these drain tubs that are supposed to go into drain holes which I have confirmed the Ridgeline does not have. Saying this tonneau fits a Ridgeline is a questionable statement with that as fact. I called support at Bak Industries and was told to run those into plastic bottles and empty them when they are full; I assure you that is not a joke and 100% truth. We had a good rain storm last night and sure enough the bed is full of water. It leaked it from the front seal, the side seals, and of course the drain tubes. I've ordered a tube of permatex black silicone and unfortunately will have to try and seal up this brand new tonneau cover on a new truck. I have had cheap tonneau covers in the past on other trucks and never really had a problem with leaking. This product is not something I would purchase again or recommend to family and friends.

No issues with the product - it looks great and I think will do the job. Had two issues - the machined holes on one of the rails didn't line up with the holes in the bed that you use to mount the rail. I had to file away at the existing hole in the rail to get it to line up - no big deal but took some elbow grease! What I am a bit frustrated with is that my kit was supposed to come with 4 star-knobs to secure the cover to the rails. The insert in the packaging shows 4 star knobs and there are 4 holes drilled into the cover that line up with the rail channels. Anyway, sent an email to BAKFlip support two days ago w/my order number and invoice - haven't heard back yet. Also been on their help line for over 30 minutes two times but nobody picks up. You can press 0 to leave a message but it goes to a busy line. :-(Edit: BAKFlip support got back to me (a few days after my initial inquiry) via email indicating they will be shipping out (via FedEx) the two missing star knobs so I'm bumping my rating up.

5 stars for shipping on time5 stars for product being as advertised.5 stars customer service.I had a manufacturer issue and Canada Direct connected me with Bak Industries which also has great customer service. The part was sent out next day. The issue was not Canada Directs fault but they went above beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase.

J'aurais apprécié qu'il soit 2.5 cm plus long pour assurer une meilleure étanchéité sur la partie avant du caisson. Je l'ai posé il y a moins d'un mois, le temps nous dira s'il est en mesure d'affronter les éléments...

Perfect addition for my new Ridgeline. Too bad the upper tie downs have to be removed to install, but easy and fast to install the cover. Now if Honda would make the tailgate lockable I would be very happy.

Great Product. Easy to install. Great value. Love the look of it on my 2018 Ridgeline.
