BAK just sent me the cover again, so I didn't have to reinstall anything but the cover itself. I had to "destroy" the top and send them a few pictures. I just cut up the vinyl on the top, sent the pic, and they sent the new one. Installed the new one and it's perfect
i have the identical truck on order, yours looks awesome. Does the power tailgate work with the cove? How’s it holding up?Installed my new Revolver X4s truck cover on my Smoked Quartz King Ranch. I had a Revolver x2 on my previous 2017 XLT which I liked but it had a couple of flaws both of which have been addressed in the X4s.
I like the Revolver covers as they seem provide a little better security a typical tonneau cover. Constructed of aluminum allows an evenly distributed 300lbs on top of the cover when closed. I enjoy that when it's rolled up against the cab it doesn't block your entire view out the back window like most bakflip type covers.
The two problems I had with the original version centered around the heavy felt used on the backside of the cover that you used to roll up the cover. After a few hot summers in the Texas sun, the adhesive on the felt backing gave way and the felt came off of the cover. While Bak Industries had a replacement kit, based on reviews this adhesive also failed.
On the new X4s, they have ditched the felt and gone with a more rubberized material that seems to be attached much better than the original felt. Only time will tell how the new backing holds up, but at first blush this seems like a marked improvement.
The second problem with the original cover was the strap latches used to secure the rolled up cover at the front of the bed. These were typical plastic male/female buckle claps that proved awkward latching against the rolled cover. Bak has ditched the traditional buckles and gone with a T shape handle that's inserted into a slot and rotated 90 degress to lock it in. This seems much easier and more secure. Again nice improvement.
Last not really a failing of the original model, but a convenient improvement on the design are the plastic hand knobs rather the original metal nuts. This means the rollable cover can now be removed quickly and easily without the need for any tools.
So far I'm very happy with my purchase. Well done Bak/Truck Hero
Here are some pics.
I probably missed this but who did you buy from? Great to know company’s that really care about customer satisfaction. These are the people I want to do business with!
Thank you
holding up great and yes the power tailgate works fine
I'm having the same issue, it seems like the cover is at least an inch too short in the width. I'm also having an issue with the rails, they seem a bit too long and I can't close the tailgate. Thinking I got the wrong parts. Did you get yours figured out? Did they send you a new one?
I’m thinking you got the wrong rails. I just installed mine last weekend and as long as they are snug up against the front of the bed, it fits perfectly. The only other thing that I can think of is if you put the weatherstripping on the “back” of the bed front rather than on top. There’s a few great YouTube videos on installing it they may give you a hint if you did something wrong
Reach out to Frank @Stage3Motorsports to see if he can help. Their a sponsor of this forum and we should try to support them if their pricing is fair. I have purchased 2 things from them including my x4s and had a good experience
There are no drain tubes.
