Guys, any leaks on your MX4? Would order it again or try something else? Had one on my GMC and it was fine. Just seeing if there were any better options available. Thanks
Mine is just fine. Minimal leaking at the tailgate and I haven’t even tried to seal it

Did you install yourself or did you have shop install cover?

If you dont mind me asking, where did you purchase and how much? seems like I can get it shipped for under 900. Local truck shop wants 1100.00 installed.

Tonneau factory outlet price matched the same price that I was quoted by another company on here. I believe I paid a little less than $800 shipped

Is the install hard? Before I turned in my Sierra, I took it off and installed it on my buddy’s Silverado. Seemed pretty easy but didn’t lock as easy as it did on my truck. Think I can do it myself without issues on my ram? Do you have ram box?

It is stupid easy. Hardest part is sliding the covers rails into the bed rails

It is easy. I can install on in about 45 min. No. I do not have Ram boxes. Don’t like them. If the covers were metal, maybe.

I need help. Trying to install the MX4. 2019 Rebel with ramboxes. I cannot figure out how to slide the rails in. What am I missing?
Cannot even get it started straight. The end of the MX4 rail doesn’t come close to fitting in any space on the bed rail.

So a big box showed up on my doorstep, and I plan on installing this Bakflip MX4 this coming weekend on my '19 Ram 1500 Limited w Ramboxes.

Aside from what I can gather by reading the instructions, do any of y'all who've already done this have any tips or recommendations?

Thanks!
I love mine. Love the matte black finish

Your truck must have come with the factory cover?

Those aren't the silver rails from the BUG that are needed to install. You have the black rails.

I kinda figured that. I went to the dealership to look at other trucks.
I am having trouble finding the part number for the rails I need. Does anyone know the part number?
